Shimano headset with hose clamp (for Frank)
As promised here is the pic of the hose clamp "solution" for a Shiomano
headset that used to come loose all the time: http://www.analogconsultants.com/ng/bike/Hoseclamp.JPG Some day I'll re-do it by underlaying something up front so the whole thing is flush with the bottom ring. Long story short I rode 60mi with that and this included dirt roads, bush paths and dilapidated highway surfaces. In the past the headset was guaranteed to come loose on each of them. No more. So I guess we can conclude that this redneck fix works. Ok, it doesn't look great and I'll probably get a new headset some day but for right now the problem is ... gone. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |

I've had one of those headsets. It didn't come loose all the time, no matter what roads I rode on. -- JS |

It's a 20 minute repair job and $25 part -- assuming Joerg doesn't go whole-hog with Chris King. -- Jay Beattie |
