Yip. Bang on.  Beartrap 2, not 4.  The 4s fell apart.  Well they did on me anyways..... 

[christhejob]

whatever was in the frickin shops!!

[the_cyclops]

Yeah! I used to just use a cheap one and just do it up with my hand when it came loose!




I think some of these guys are missing the point of 'mid school'

i used the gt epoch or beartrap as fine with gyro`s

I was speaking to someone about this a while ago - didn't any of you lot use the G Sport headlock thing?  It screwed down the forks then you set and locked your headset in place with 4 allen grub screws which screwed down onto a big fat washer supplied with it.  It also double as a gyro hanger.

It was the b0llocks.  Nice sturdy thing so you didn't have your top gyro cable falling out, and as long as you didn't bend your fork steerer tube your headset stayed tight forever.

None of this doing it up by hand nonsense.....  and of course, it added a little weight also   


Beartrap 2 - cromoly cups I was led to believe, so they didn't crack too often, then replace them with Rekka when they did.  Headsets were the least of my worries back then.  Actually riding the bike however..........

I've still got one somewhere! I think it's the steel version, i'll have a hunt about.

[TwoBobRob]

There you go.  I knew you wouldn't let me down      Mine is a steel one also,  and I'm sure I still have it somewhere.  Kinda surprised I've not seen one on a midschool build yet...

[Lazarou]

I had an earlier alloy version but it stripped out, you're right though Rob, they did work.

[darkersomeday]

i used a an old gt epoch that ran for years, then a bear trap later that wasnt as tough,

all praise the A-headset

Amen Brother

In the '90s dialled bikes were for gays (and flatlanders)

[TwoBobRob]

That's fighting talk where I come from   


That's Gayland, obviously....... 

[Lazarou]

I have to say I took pride in the fact that my bikes were always dialled! I couldn't live with anything even remotely loose or brakes that weren't perfect.



  Anal = Gay! 



I'll have to go find a boyfriend now!

Was talking about this tonight at Charlton.  Can't be having any rattling or jingling or owt.  Drives me fooking mental.
