Post by: d14vd_h on January 03, 2006, 05:47 PM: yeah its a rider,
so all of those headsets i posted link too are unsuitable cos they are all hatta correct?
gutted if thats the case as i cant afford to shell out on tange, may just have to settle for a blue lock nut!

Post by: OrgasmDonor on January 03, 2006, 05:58 PM: no dude, hattas are cool just keep away from the sealed kongo, they are 99% shite with stiff spots the second you put them on, if you do get a good kongo and it doesnt stick it will probably explode within a week of riding, the cheaper ones are far superior, deffo go for one of them

Post by: Waxintaxin on January 03, 2006, 06:39 PM: The MX10 or MX100 are both good . and will stand up OK on a rider . Skatepools are 12 quid seems a good price but they only have the MX10 in blue

Post by: boogaloo-tramp on January 05, 2006, 06:59 AM: The mx10 on my street beat used to come loose after approx five minutes of riding, no matter how much I adjusted it. Fitted a tange locknut to it now and it's fine.

Post by: QuadPaul on January 05, 2006, 09:42 AM: I run a Hatta MX10 and as said by others it wouldn't stay tight for more than 5mins!!

Post by: d14vd_h on January 05, 2006, 03:23 PM: what kinda riding u guys referring too, cos im just usin it for cruising,
looks like i might have to get the mx10 with a tange locknut both from skatepool, do the colours match up?

Post by: QuadPaul on January 05, 2006, 11:02 PM: I was just cruising as well dude and the thing still kept coming loose. May be OK with a headlock but no idea on colour match
