"I woke up in a cold sweat; I had that dream again--the one where I was riding along, when suddenly my fork came flying off my bike, leading to me having to pick teeny-tiny rocks out of my face. What can this mean?" I asked Doctor Majors.

"Well, Paul, I think you might need a new threaded headset," he replied.

It can't be that easy. I have checked it over and over again, and my bike headset is fine. Its nice and snug just like it should be. There has to be something more!"

"Paul, calm down. I'm sure this dream only means one thing: You need some new bike parts, and it wouldn't be a bad idea to start with a new headset."
