For a few weeks now I have had an intermittent clunking coming from the headset on my VA Sport. Also the headset feels it wants to centre itself (slight resistance left & right but none to back to centre). Nothing is loose, no play up or down, any ideas?

My limited mechanical expertise tells me your headset's too tight or the races are just plain pitted and shot especially if it's an oldy.  |

Scott, I used to have the same problem on a motorcycle.
The handlebars feel to 'index' into a set position when turned, and once 'indexed', offer slight resistance to further turning.
They may have been tightened too much when the stem was adjusted or set up, or I know my head bearings were too slack whilst riding along a long bumpy straight, causing the bearing balls to indent the bearing races - causing clunking.
Regards,
Sprockit
