You guys have too much time..... Ghetto does not equal geto. Geto is correct tool deprivation in this case. Has nothing to do with some historical ghettos from the past. Campy and Snap-On tools are the anti ghetto. Not using a toothed washer is geto. There is a tooth and a slot for a reason. To keep headset adjusted correctly. Otherwise the locknut/top screwed race will remain tight together but back off as a unit as to go out of adjustment. Race does not enter into this. Except headset races. You may of course assemble your headset as you wish but don't be surprised when it rattles loose. Joe Hughes Denver
