Wrote off threaded headsets for years, a crusty old tandem changed my mind last Saturday
I spent about five years telling every customer that threadless was the only way to go, and I'd roll my eyes at anything with a quill stem. Last Saturday a guy rolled a 1987 Schwinn tandem into the shop on Division St. with a headset so loose the bars flopped around, and he wanted it fixed right, not swapped out. I dug out my old 32mm wrench and got it adjusted and greased in maybe 20 minutes, and the thing rode smooth as anything on my test spin around the block. Now I'm wondering how much of my old stance was just me being lazy about learning the old stuff, so what's the one old part you all still swear by?
