I used the bike I rode on long ride yesterday. Lo and behold, the fork, steering system was loose - probably a play of 0.5 to 1 mm. The long ride + plus the watermelon load that jarred the headset could be the reason.
I tightened the bolt that held the headset together but there was no improvement. Disassembled the whole
headset. Found out: that the expander bolt was loose, and that the compression circlip popped out.
Therefore: pushed back the compression circlip, and retightened the expander bolt (the equivalent of the flower). But the tightening was done gingerly because it is a carbon fork and I had no torque wrench.
Loose headset/post no more....Solved
