You can
You can... dunno where though.. Bet they still come loose...
I've got a King Headset on one of my AP frames and it's forever coming loose. Diggler is right, A Beartrap headset is a better headset for staying tight. Don't look as good though.
Threaded alloy headsets are crap. You cant ever tighten them enough due to them stripping. Crap idea and bad design on a threaded headset - hence the locktite. Ive been lucky though, mine hasnt come loose. All other alloy (tange 125 etc) same shite, same problem. Steel headsets like beartrap2 etc work because they can be tightened with a bit of actual force to keep them from coming loose without stripping the threads. Alloy headsets look nice in pretty anno, thats about it
Had Epoch headsets on both my PL20 and VDC 24 bitd , they were the bollox because that spring thing really worked

Bit confused now what to go for I wanted a "pretty" Gold Anno Headset for my O/S racer (or in my case O/S snail )I've got Chris King parts on my MTB and just assumed that all their gear would be good I've thought about the Tange 125....but I think it may take a while for a gold Anno one to turn up plus I'd heard they work loose as well.I agree about the "for that money it should work" comments....but I tend to put a dab of threadlock on most fixings on my bikes (BMX and MTB)
