Tange MX 2 Headset

(1/2) > >>

curtispro:
I just got one of these for my DP build, and like the other 2 headsets I have tried it doesn't fookin fit, threaded parts go on about 1/2 inch then gets tight, the original old headset fits a treat but it is not going back on as its past its best, threads on the forks are perfect, it must be a TPI issue  :crazy2: :crazy2: :crazy2: :crazy2: :crazy2: :crazy2: :crazy2: I am getting fed up now  :( 

1mancity2:
Have you got another pair of forks to try the headset on?

curtispro:
Yes I tried the new headset on the Mrs fake Haro FST and it fits fine (its a early 90's diamondback) I can't understand it.



I have got one of these coming from pork chop

Have you tried the old lock nut on those forks?
