I have a new Easton 1" EC90SL fork and the "beartrap" headset adjuster scares me after looking at it. I have used (and still own) a Time Microset which works on the same principle, but the Easton design is just plain crude. It is caveman era engineering compared to the Microset. In trying to decide how to proceed, I can 1.) use the beartrap, 2.) use the microset (my current plan), 3.) use a plug (like the Problem Solver model), or 4.) tension it up with a plug, tighten, and remove and ditch the plug altogether
What would you do ?
