I had a too long Technomic (10cm) with Mark's bar on my Roadeo. I switched to
an 8 cm DD but I had it bottomed out and tHe bars were just a tad high, so I
got a 6 cm Tallux and it is perfect. I thought it looked kind of funny too. But

I have a few things to clear out:
Nitto Noodle bars, 44cm, bar tape residue- $40
Silver bar-end shifters, used a couple of months, maybe 1000 miles or so,

Schwalbe Marathon Dureme, pair, 700c x 50, very little use,
I just had the same issue on my Hilsen. The guys at Riv recommended rotating
the bearings like Patrick suggested (as did Bill Lindsay when I asked about
it). Once the mechanic at the LBS got it apart the bearings were shot. I
replaced the headset with a Tange on Tuesday.

How do you know when a headset is worn out? My Hilsen has an Ultegra headset.
The bike was built up in 2011. There seems to be kind of a dead spot when the
wheel is centered up. If you have the wheel centered and move the handlebars to
the left and right, it's like you have to overcome inertia
Mark, go ahead and grab the cartridges. I live in a hotel so don't have my shop
tools, thus will need to get it the LBS first, then go from there. This is poor
timing with PBP training in progress, but certainly better than a
non-functional headset in Loudeac.
