Headset question

<< < (4/5) > >>

Kaner:
Lol!

It came as a FF only.

I doesn't look like it has been cut, all the edges are smooth and clean and the threads are perfect. I think I wil see if I can get a cheapie headset and see if there is a difference?

brummie:
i think i have a gold headset somewhere ben i could have a look for you mate?

Kaner:
That would be appreciated Dave.

punkdSICO:
I know you want a bit more lenght but, does it really matter?  I mean, you will have 3 threads worth of contact in the above picture and its black adjusting cone(?) that does the hardcore holding together.  The Lock Nut is only there to make sure it does not come loose so 3 threads could be fine..  Even more so when you consider you also have a spring to stop it working loose..

Feckin lovely headsets btw..  I have the blue one (from Sparticus) and was tempted to get a gold aswell.  Seriously good looking..

Kaner:
Yeah you are right actually Paul, I had thought that.  I suppose that is what my first question related to about the need for that washer.

I could just put it on with some PTFA tape and lock it tight with what purchase I have on the threads.

Grand idea.
