Title: Headset ID please peeps
Post by: animal on February 07, 2010, 09:07 PM
Got this headset , looks like a hatta 2 me but could b a tange of some sort ? It has no ID marks on it . Its chrome under the blue as can b seen on the lock nut where it has worn off. Not sure if somebody has painted it or what ? U thoughts please  ;) its a cracking good headset but its got me puzzled  ::)

some of them have the lock nut stamped, some dont.

Is it definitely chrome underneath? its not an alloy one? you can tell the alloy ones as they have a steel bearing plate on the inside of the cups so the alloy doesnt wear

can't see the side wall clearly if its full round not half round then it might be mx10(steel) or mx100(alloy).  ;)
