Headset Confusion
« on: May 13, 2011, 05:13 PM »
Bought a Tange headset from Ed and have gone to fit it today into the Skywat and, well, let the pictures do the talking.




Obviously i can't tighten the locknut down any further so what is the solution? Do I need to fit more washers? Do I have an abnormally long threaded tube ;D or do i have to use something else?

Help/guidance/praying appreciated!!!

Yep, thicker washer or a Headlock  :daumenhoch:

Thought so, will put a wanted ad up for any orphan washers :D as the only ones I have now are either black or so nailed that they look like they have been dug up from the bottom of the thames :( .

you have the small version lock nut, there is a deeper version also which would maybe solve your problem  :daumenhoch:
