Tange MX 2 Headset
« on: June 29, 2011, 09:39 AM »
I just got one of these for my DP build, and like the other 2 headsets I have tried it doesn't fookin fit, threaded parts go on about 1/2 inch then gets tight, the original old headset fits a treat but it is not going back on as its past its best, threads on the forks are perfect, it must be a TPI issue  :crazy2: :crazy2: :crazy2: :crazy2: :crazy2: :crazy2: :crazy2: I am getting fed up now  :(

Have you got another pair of forks to try the headset on?

Yes I tried the new headset on the Mrs fake Haro FST and it fits fine (its a early 90's diamondback) I can't understand it.



I have got one of these coming from pork chop

Derekonlinecycles tange mx2, tried the one off original headset on the fake FST and it don't fit, they are original DP GL forks, but I can't seem to get a fookin headset to fit it  :'( :tickedoff:  >:( :'( :-\

Its either a different tpi or the original could be cross threaded and so are your forks now, could you restore the original?
