a tight spot is where you can feel a large amount of resistance in your headset as you spin
it and also is that headset any good and is there anyone to buy it off in AUS

There may be resistance because You headset cap is rubbing on the cup, this is because the bottom of your bars may not be perfectly straight so it compresses at an awkward angle. File the bottom of your bars so they are straight and then put them on.
