Thank you VERY much for going through the effort to take pix for me!

That was really cool of you!

I really appreciate it!


So as you tighten the pinch bolt- it squeezes on the two flats of the headset nut!

Thank you!
Your welcome. One last clarification based on you last post, the pinch bolt is tightening the hanger to the threaded part of the steerer tube. That thin lock nut is really held in place like the regular headset top-nut that it is replacing; it is essentially tightened down against the adjusting cup - acting in place of your old top nut. When all else fails, there is always your Local Bike Shop!
