squince Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Hey, i have flared my headtube on my zona after two weeks by snapping my forks, i have been refused warranty so im going to try and cur it, should i buy a FSA pig headset, as its only slighty flared? whats will this do to the frame in the long run? should it be ok?I did you the search button, and found some things, but was just wondering About how it would be in the long run.Small question for davetrials, why are flared headtubes dangerous?cheers andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScotchDave Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Well if you flared the headtube it's likely you were running your headset loose, get a headset with deep insertion cups (if I remember rightly it a pig has them) and keep it tight.
