You cannot keep your headsets adjusted adequately apparently from your statements , I can ..

Other than the pointless cross fire ..

Note :

It is possible to make a threadless conversion of a threaded fork and Bypass the whole issue, for pretty cheap ..


here it is : steel tube quill stem-raiser inserted past the threaded portion, and the quill wedge is tightened .

and it doubles the thickness where the threads are cut. then the same sort of parts , a top race , minus the threads .


the spacer rings and a 1/16th shim around the steerer and a 9/8" stem...


if you are leaving it as is ? just push a Star nut in the end of the tube .. there are those for 1" threadless steerers ..


Re: Lock Tite use any amount you wish , there are much stronger varieties than the blue stuff.
