Thanks guys. Upon closer inspection, the triple tree bolt was not actually very tight at all, so I took it off and tightened the steering stem with the C spanner about 90 degrees. I re-tightened the triple tree bolt and tested the steering, still feels OK (not tight) but will feed back after a 60 mile commute tomorrow. At least I know what I need to be adjusting now.

Cheers, Pete
