Cane Creek 110 Classic threaded headset
Does anyone have one of these? How does that lock nut work? Is that a little allen bolt on the side that secures it? I need a new headset for my '92 PDG (in black) and I want a good one. CK is another option but I hate the huge logos they put on them now.

the set screw operates as a fixing bolt, preventing your top cap from becoming loose. it usually presses against the threads, but does not damage them.

The set-screw is for a notched steer-tube. It just works like a washer that has a tang or a flat, which helps separate the lock nut from the race nut by keeping the washer from turning when you adjust the nuts.
These are nicer than King's in my opinion. The bearings are removable. So if you want to remove the logos, polish or re-anodize it's no problem. The quality is as good King.
