Was given a crash damaged frame recently and paid for some of the parts that were on it, amongst which was a King headset minus its top bearing cover etc. The fork had the tell tale groove so it was an older, scuff washer style one which I’ve never liked anyway.
Thought about buying the actual King parts (which do away with the scuff washer now that the patent on the preload wedge has run out) for around £30 but then remembered I have a £6 Ebay king copy. The preload wedge was too high but 5minutes filing/sanding it down and I’ve got an up to date King headset with added stealth as the new top cover doesn’t have any text on it.
