Anyone know how long the Azonic headlock can be extended?

I checked the Azonic web site and see they have an "MTB" and an "MTB Long" version. Whatever that means. I need something that can extend at least 10.5"

Never mind. Checked pricepoint.com and "long" is listed as 9.5". Oh well, star nut it is.

Have you looked at the Woodman?

They make a headlock type system that I think is nicer than the Azonic. Not sure how long they can go though, you could email them to find out.

Get OUT of my head!!! I actually JUST bought one before reading your post It's actually a bit flimsy and everyone says easy to break if you torque it just a little too tight. But it's very adjustable from very short to very long. But my LBS didn't have the azonic in stock so I got the Woodman. But no complaints. And I might have to correct myself. I think the azonic "long" is 9.5" minimum. And it can go longer from there. So I'm sure it would've fit. I just didn't want to wait for the shipment.

You can strengthen it...

I actually broke (from overtightening) the socket head cap screw that attaches the top cap to the shaft (it's aluminum). After removing the broken part from the shaft I replaced it with a stainless one, it's not going to break again. You could replace the bolt now and never have to worry about it.

I said GET OUT of my head!!! Right afterwards I spoke with my friend that also had a Woodman and he said he just broke his and went out to buy a stainless one to replace too. Freaky.
