Park HCW-6 if anyone's looking for it.
Inspired by thoughts of roadside headset repairs, I ask about roadside BB adjustment at viewtopic.php?f=5&t=129959

If they worked loose, which they don't, an allen key on any old multitool will fix it in less than a minute. I'd never go back to traditional headsets for that reason. I've been using Aheadsets for about 18 years now and my headset problems are down almost zero compared to the string of issues I had with traditional headsets before.

It's a 1" threadless Ahead. Easy peasy to set up and adjust once you've sussed out the strange arrangement with the cone and washer system inside the steerer. I understand that "normal" bikes have a starred washer to grip, but Moulton in their wisdom have something akin to a quill stem cone thingy down there that the top cap screws into.
Still, it works well so long as the cone grips properly ............. which it didn't until I'd sussed out how to improve the grip.
Like you, I wouldn't go back to a threaded adjustable one again. Mercian could possibly be fitted with the Moulton system. Next time I'm tinkering with nothing better to do, I might strip both bikes down and see if the Moulton one will fit Mercian. I don't see why the non-threaded cups and fittings wouldn't go over the threads on the steerer. It could be that the head tube is a different gauge, but I doubt it as the headset isn't Moulton-specific.
