How does everyone set up steering? Are the bars super loose from side to side, or tight, staying where you point them?
What are the pros and cons of each?

X2, even the slightest wobble bugs the piss out of me.

depends on your system too, I run a Xmetal plate with a blowsion bearing system instaed of the plastic washer, it turns smooth, but it is tight, no warble, but it takes some force to move the bars

I want it smooth but dont like having to "push" the bars. Also never liked having the pole tight either... Def prefer a spring.

i have a stock steering plate. i usually start the day/weekend with it cranked down and pretty stiff. by the end of the day/weekend, its all sloppy and I dont even think about it. I guess it doesnt make a difference to me.

That used to happen to me all the time and drive me nuts!
Blowsion sells a nut for the steering pivot bolt with a clamping feature to prevent the bolt from getting lose
I'm new to this sport, but this is how I like having mine set up. I can't stand any "tightness" in my steering.

Try adjusting to a pole without a spring. Friction holds it wherever you put it. I swear I'm doing more pushups now ever since I got this Bob. Was a workout when I first got it. No slop is nice. Although I've rode many of my skis with some slop and I was just too lazy to tighten that bolt. Meh.
