I think that's what happened to your headset?
Don't know what happened. For the first 200-300 miles, all seemed fine. But now it's become downright embarrassing; the thing squawks and squeaks like a goosed goose.

On my steel bike, the headset is just loose (again ), though supposedly the LBS tightened it down so hard that "...it will never loosen."

Uh huh...

So, when you get your Ridley, all I can say is go with a Chris King headset and forgo the Full Speed Ahead version.
