'Afternoon, all.
quick question:
On the kind of threaded steering head sets where there's a keyed washer (in
this case, it has a flat on the thread, not a groove, but the effect's the
same; I've seen both kinds) is there a convention about where on the steerer
in relation to straight-ahead the flat or groove goes?
I don't often make them for this kind of headset; but this machine I'm doing
has Stronglight A9s which have this kind of anti-rotating washer between the
top cup and the locknut.
and before someone says "why don't you use Aheadsets?", a) I don't like them
and b) they don't suit the job I'm doing which doesn't have a stem fitted.
You can see why by looking at http://www.roman-road.co.uk if you're
interested and don't already know. Bearing in mind there are only 200
people on usenet, the chances are that half of you already know me from
other groups...
