Default 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.

Ghastly. Fix it properly. I've had one of those headsets. It didn't
come loose all the time, no matter what roads I rode on.

I think that Joerg rode it ao often and so far with it being "Finger Tight" that he's knackered the headset threads and it'll no longer tighten and stay tight.

In my experience, "redneck" and "wisdom" seldom go together. And I had
a lot of experience with rednecks.

Right on. Way too trailer. It's a 20 minute repair job and $25 part -- assuming Joerg doesn't go whole-hog with Chris King.

Do you have cars up on blocks in your front yard?

No, my wife is a neat freak and would not tolerate that.

I like that low-cost bumper. It probably lasts longer than any
highfalutin plastic bumper.
