• I was a bit optimistic when choosing a replacement for my old threaded headset, it is a bit too tall for my frame/fork combination.

    Can i use it without the lock washer, or will I die?

  • You can get 1" Tange Passage that has a low stack height. Depending on the headset, you can do without the washer if the thread fills the locknut. Some headsets have a recess for the washer between the adjustment race and the locknut. There are plenty of other things things to check with old forks on the dying front.
