    Hellbender works great!

    These bearings are the best! Fairly easy to install and they totally stopped the death wobble in my Lectric XPeak bike!

    Perfect for recumbent trike

    Trike riders have their own unique challenges when it comes to needing two hands for even the simple task of changing glasses or unwrapping a Clif Bar. A bike can be steered for a time with no hands - a feat inaccessible to a trike rider.

    My new Azub Ti-Fly has very quick steering - not 'speed wobble' prone steering - just annoyingly light for my purposes. As an experienced motorsports guy, it's the sort of steering you would want in your track car, but not your daily driver. It's "pay attention" in its responsiveness. Since I bought the Azub for touring, and not slalom, I wanted to calm it down a bit so I could at least point it in a direction and have it mildly resist turning while I open the mud cap on my water bottle.

    Visco to the rescue. Perfect! It's smooth with no noticeable stiction with my hand on the controls, yet it will hold a straight line under a reasonable range of conditions.

    Highly recommended for my application.

Hellbender 70 Visco is a patented steering stabilizer headset designed to make bicycles safer and easier to control by inhibiting the high frequency steering oscillation known as speed wobble. It also makes the handling of heavily loaded bikes more stable and predictable. Stabilization is provided by a stack of damping plates built into the headset, separated by a viscous carbon gel, that helps riders maintain control, reduce fatigue and ride with confidence. 

Great for e-bikes, cargo bikes, loaded touring, and commuting. 

Not designed for aggressive mountain bike use.
