What headset do i need to use with a DK headlock ????

[southern andy]

I've got a nice DK Headlock which i'd like to use rather than sell/store it but i'm struggling to find a headset with has a flat bit so the lock fits flush.


As you can see from these two headsets here they both seem to have a fixed bolt to them which then causes the problem.

The DK headlock has it's own thread which screws on to the fork thread.









looks like this which doesn't work.

The early basic tange ones that appeared on the Raleigh burners are what you need.
Give butts a pm on BW chances are he will have some rechromed ones available.

It looks like your lock would replace the existing washer and top nut on one of these nicely.

Cheers Glynn,

so removing the top nut and washer, the remaining parts of the headset would be completely flat so my H/L above would sit on there perfectly ??


What about the GT Epoch ??

[brummie]

does the the dk headlock not just replace the nut?

[southern andy]

yes Dave mate but as you can see in the bottom picture it sits proud rather than flat to the top of the headset, this is because picture 4 has the raised teeth bit. If they weren't there it would work. sadly that actual headset needs that bit hence why i need a flat one.

think i have a spare top part for a headset andy. yours if you want it mate

[southern andy]

It's the picture 4 bit i need Dave but need to be flat or even inverted. That then screws on to the forks to seal the bearings in and then the headlock screws down on to that and it's tightened up to lock it all.


You going to MK ?

[brummie]

yes its flat im sure it is. its like a standard tange not the beartrap type pictured
its yours at mk but ffs remind me to bring it

Cheers Dave, you're a good man. It's not true what Wardy says about yer.
