What headset do i need to use with a DK headlock ????

(1/2) > >>

southern andy:
I've got a nice DK Headlock which i'd like to use rather than sell/store it but i'm struggling to find a headset with has a flat bit so the lock fits flush.


As you can see from these two headsets here they both seem to have a fixed bolt to them which then causes the problem.

The DK headlock has it's own thread which screws on to the fork thread.









looks like this which doesn't work.






Help  :)

Glynnyboy:
The early basic tange ones that appeared on the Raleigh burners are what you need.
Give butts a pm on BW chances are he will have some rechromed ones available.

It looks like your lock would replace the existing washer and top nut on one of these nicely.

southern andy:
Cheers Glynn,

so removing the top nut and washer, the remaining parts of the headset would be completely flat so my H/L above would sit on there perfectly ?????


What about the GT Epoch ?????

brummie:
does the the dk headlock not just replace the nut?

southern andy:
yes Dave mate but as you can see in the bottom picture it sits proud rather than flat to the top of the headset, this is because picture 4 has the raised teeth bit. If they weren't there it would work. sadly that actual headset needs that bit hence why i need a flat one.
