Title: NOS Tioga Dry & Tight
Post by: monkian on April 14, 2010, 04:59 PM
I bought this thinking it would be some kind of Headlock like the Tange / Suntour jobbies but turns out it's a weird little Sealed Top Nut.
8 Sided Nut with O-Ring Seal underneath and a Clear Rubber Cap up top with Printed text in Gold - Tioga - Japan - Dry & Tight - D 0.833
Never seen one before so just thought I'd share my amusement ;D
