Title: TANGE 125LP HEADSET
Post by: munners on March 13, 2007, 01:29 PM

I have just fitted my headset to my TA forks. The forks werent long enough to fit the chrome washer (that says : LOOSE PROOF MECHANISM MODEL NO.LP440).  Well pissed off cos i like the look of it with that on.  Anyway around this??

I know it may sound stupid , but have you took the other locking washer off ?
Just a thought  :-\

 :coolsmiley:

Mind you though , how come you can't get both on ? You only need a few threads for the lock to work so i can't understand how it won't go on  :-\ because if the lock ring is right at the top of the threads i think there is summat  seriously wrong somewhere  ???
