Does anyone know of a company that makes 1.5 Headlocks? I know of the Manitou one, but I'm pretty sure it only works with Manitou Forks. I'm running a Totem...
1.5 Headlock?

you could just use the bottom threaded part and the long bolt, and use your own 1.5 stem cap, and put a washer uner the flange of the bottom part.
Damnit, I was just on their website. I must have totally missed it. Thanks!
Now does anyone know a US dealer, other than BTI?
Just BTI
I just found out my LBS gets stuff through BTI and others. Had no idea until we started talking about DMR parts. Checking local might help.
Well I work at my LBS and I know we don't get parts through BTI.
^ha ha. good one. too bad you are the only one.
I'll ask again tomorrow, but I asked my manager once cause I wanted to order some straitline parts and they said that the shop doesnt have an account with BTI.
i meant the only LBS. just messing. i had been going to this shop for over 2 years and had no idea they dealt with BTI.
The woodman ones are weak - had one and the bolt snapped.
For some reason they made the screw portion with an undercut on the head. Still can't figure out why you would want to weaken your part...
Maybe they have fixed that problem - but be carefull

Yup.
I've never used the 1.5 version but I broke the 1 1/8 I had the first ride. I'd stick washers on an azonic headlock before I bought another woodman.
I too had the same issue with my woodman, I have since heard that they have redesigned them to be stronger.
I was thinking about getting the Azonic one and just putting a washer on the bottom and using my 1.5 top cap on the top. Think that would do the trick?
another vote for not getting a woodman...mine didn't last to long either...D
Well thanks for the heads up on the woodman guys. One of the guys that works part time at the shop also works in a machine shop, I might just have him fab me up a long bolt and a bottom piece.
I am using a THE headlock that I bought from ride-this.com. No problems so far.

Thanks Rob. Lemme know if you need a new axle, I can get one from my shop at cost and mail it to you or something.
i make my own headlocks for $1.50 at lowes. 1/4" threaded steel rod, 3/4"-1" spacer to cover the lower part of the steer tube and whatever size spacer you need to hold your top cap on. you can get creative with concealing the nut on top. i've had the same bolt/nuts/spacers for several years with no problems. besides, chicks dig homemade stuff
