Azonic Headlock?

Get the Woodman Capsule Extreme (duuuude!) it's lighter and more adjustable for different sized steerers. It also has a threaded hole in the bottom for a fender mount.

I've been running one on my '04 Stinky with a '03 Jr. T and have liked it so far. It doesnt work on my 05 Z-1 FR though because the bottom threaded part is too big for the fork. You do have to be carefull as far as bearing preload...It's pretty easy to over tighten it and ding up your headset races.
i got an older version and it works great. also easy to take it out if i need to use it on another bike

Nope...it sucked too...I took the JrT off because a seal was leaking and was going to put the Z on only to find out the Headlock incompatability issue...this was all 15 minutes before a ride. The Z now has a starnut and is living happily on the front of my Steelhead.stinkyboy said:
yea i have the woodman one and I like it. well, i dont run with it cause of my hopey but it works good when i use it, lol
Just pics of the Stinky...the Azonic is still under construction....It's hard to build my bikes when I have a son with the same tastes as mine and a daughter rapidly becoming a fanatic.
The Stink..
The HT's...Thats my 11 year olds Speshy and my Azonic
My sons bike with Halos and Holyrollers
My 24" Mosh cruiser
My 100th anniversary edition Schwinn XS...all original right down to the grips (with some assorted other old school BMX's in the back ground.
Lets just say I have a lot of bikes...that is about 1/4 of em all...when the the neighborhood kids are here no one gets left without a ride

I have the Woodman on my Foes, I sort of stumbled upon it as the Azonics were out of stock everywhere when I built up the bike, but I am quite pleased, as for the Z1 dilema, I couldn't find anything to fit into my Z1fr1 so you may be S.O.L.
Nice!
Here's my baby:
Prolly getting an 06 Stinky Primo frame and an 888 before the end of the year. I almost bought a Steelhead a couple weeks ago. A buddy of mine has beat the crap out of his and has had no problems (other than about 5 derailler replacements...)

I second the Woodman, they have worked great for me.

I have 3 azonic headlocks on all bikes!
I consider it cheap insurance against a loose front end. Once it's tight it's tight, no messing with the star nut, no setting it too deep or stripping it out. I love em, best $20 per bike I've spent.
Plus knowing things stay tight helps reduct headtube ovalization. Assuming everything is pressed in correctly, nothing is damaged or installed wrong. To me it's just insurance against things like that.
There are other companies that make the same thing. They're not super technical made pieces, so any one will probably do the trick but I'd definately go with a headlock and NOT one of those Hope/FSA topcap plug things. Those are a waste IMO.
