Years ago my first LBS bike had a threaded headset which kept coming lose. I took it back to the shop where I bought it multiple times, and finally he just cranked it down tight. (On a side note, the cup/cone BB kept coming loose too, so perhaps he didn't know anything about bearing adjustment).
Anyhow... that headset was quickly "ruined" and severely indexed... by this time I knew a lot more about what I was doing, so I pulled out the bearings in the cages and put in bearings of the next size so that they wouldn't line up with the divets, and rode it for a long time after that. It worked quite smoothly, and I've since given the bike away and it's still being ridden that way. You might not want to do such a hack job on your SH, but it worked fine for a cheapest level bike shop bike. :-) On Thu, Jul 28, 2011 at 12:46 PM, René Sterental <orthie...@gmail.com>wrote: > I have found the Miche Primato threaded headset online.
