Actually, many of the best custom builders don't mill key ways in their fork tubes. I guess the washers are nice if you only own one wrench ;<)

Hi all,

Are keyed washers always used between the race and the locknut of both the upper and lower portion of the headset? What would happen if they were not used. Thanks for the comments.
