Washer on fork?
Does anyone have a washer on their fork or do you just use a locknut?
My bike came with this washer piece but I dont think it's necessary since I dont have it on any other bikes. Thoughts? |
Wait...what?
|
I like keeping washers between the fork/frame and outer axle nuts on solid axle wheels personally.
(assuming that's what you're talking about.) |
Are you talking about a threaded headset?

My fork has 2 of these and 2 washer-like parts that came with it. Does anyone use anything else besides the track nuts?
They're optional, but I especially like them on bikes with aluminum rear dropouts. They tend to get dug up a bit after a few years. Washer usage slows the digging and gouging process. |

Yep, I run washers when I have them. They can make wheelchanges slower so you may wish to ditch them if you need to swap out wheels often and/or quickly.
