Supplemental questions on headset locks:- what do you use and why?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Monk_Wally_Honk:
I want to try a Mori Epoch one (if anyone has a cheap spare) with the spiral coil inside, any experience of those by radsters?

Dark Diggler:
Tioga task force are the best, use em with a bear trap and you are winning....
but if you ride hard enough for it to be an issue, get a slightly more modern bike with a headset system that doesn't need a modification for it to work correctly.

Mikku:
Thanks for the replies guys! Yeah, I guess I shouldn't expect too much from the older stuff, which perhaps explains my current level of fitness and riding ability! :D

Those Hutch locks don't often come up for sale and when they do, cost a flippin' fortune, so maybe I'll just stick with the ol' Suntours and keep tightening them up!  :daumenhoch:

Gnarlyscoots:
The Tange is by far the better if you have to choose between it and a Suntour. I have never like the idea of having to tighten two grub screws into the fork thread to stop a headset from coming undone.

As said already, whatever looseball headset you use, it will come loose as the grease dissipates and the bearings wear, especially if just using the standard head nut.

I use Tange, DK, and have recently put a Hutch 2 in 1 on the TA. I haven't ridden it yet though to test it out  :-[

rooski:
Beartrap for riders ,no need for separate lock, show bikes, don't matter.
