Thousands of other people had exactly the same problem as does GravelMn. Hence the shaft locking solutions I've linked to and then the threadless headset. Gorilla Headlocks were only one of about a dozen companies that sold that kind of product. Several companies sold headset OEM with the lock like I linked to in another post It was a very common problem among hardcore mountain bike riders. We weren't all hamhanded dolts.
