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?

usually you don't need them.

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.

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.

good to know.

Thanks.

das ist true. but dont ever run an eno hub on alum dropouts!

an OP the washers go on the wheel axle not the fork, you dont want to confuse Scrod...
