Hi Dutch, tire pressures Ok with new tires and checked regularly. Muskrat you might be onto something there as when I bought the bike the head bearings were almost falling out but were fine once I tightened things up. Is there a replacement one piece taper roller bearing available for the plunger or am I stuck with ball bearings?.

G'day Peter. I'm sure the SRM tapered bearings fit them all. http://shop.srmclassicbikes.com/product-category/front-forks
