interesting... not one mention in this thread of the TABBED WASHER or TABBED brake cable hanger.... they can and do negate the need to use a hooked spanner on the top cup...or nut.. or whatever someone calls it.... the notched nut cup. Yah.. we'll call it that! It's the HoliDaze, anywayz.
hmmmmm... how odd... has the tab been wiped off the washer? happens way too often..... one headset features the tiny toothed terror, the multi position tabbed lockwasher... which also depends on a TAB into the slot on the Steerer tube........ shades of old ralieghs and french creations....and a day in the Vinegar bath.
