Looks likely I'll be replacing the steering bearings this weekend.
I have a notched c-spanner with 1/4" drive square to suit the castle nuts.... what is the correct torque procedure to use ?
I made myself a C spanner to fit the 9er nut, with drive via a 14mm AF nut for a 1/2" torque wrench. You are welcome to borrow it.

Back again. Got the old girl on the rack, front off the ground. Shook the snot out of it. Nothing. Ok, spun the front wheel, hit the brake, knack. Once again, spin, brake, knack. Hmmm, let's try reverse. Not as bad. Now, this old girl just turned 50k miles today. I'm guessing maybe the upper bushings in the sliders? Yea/nay? Everything is tight. Only does this while rolling, never during braking fast or slow. What do ya think.
I have had knocks in my bar mounts. part from that, many bikes suffer from knocking sounds when braking, have seen suggestions that the spring may be the source - hitting the tube inside. I have had a slight knock when braking (always, I think), but have got so used to it I'm not 100% sure it's still there

You need to remove the wheel and mudguard and grab each fork individually to check for wear to the bushes.
