I need a headlock thingy for my 36 vans. I've got a planet X one lying around but the bit that the bolt goes into doesn't fit in the bottom of the steerer tube.
Dont want a star fangled nut as there's a bit of damage on the steerer tube and its going on a downhill frame, needs a bit of security.
Does anyone use a headlock with 36's and if so which one fits?
shouldn't matter that its going on a DH frame. the SFN shouldn't be under any serious tension.
I dont know but the M part one dont fit due to the fat steerer tube. I think a mate of mine used a Raceface one with his fox 36's. try and look for it. im not 100% BTW.
Cant find any raceface ones.
Gusset or manitou ones on CRC look like they might fit.
shouldn't matter that its going on a DH frame. the SFN shouldn't be under any serious tension
unless the steerer tube snaps, more of a saftey net issue rather than tension
if you've loaded it up enough for the steerer tube to snap then a headlock aint gonna save you...
been running totems with a SFN for nearly two years now.
The top of the steerer tube looks like this...

I was a bit worried about it cracking further but saying that it has been on the bike for a while without me noticing. The steerer might be a touch short for the new frame anyway so I still might end up sending Mr Flooks £175
