General Information
Octagonal locknut used in the later version of V4. Locknut marked Stronglight Competition.  Lockring and fork crown race marked Stronglight. Weight is sans bearings. V type bearing races on the Competition model, whereas the P3 model has normal curved type bearing races. 1958 Stronglight catalog says the V4 headset is precision engineered. V type bearing races are difficult to manufacture, involving great care in grinding as tolerances are very small. V type bearings are suited for longer life including stage racing. V4 appears in 1982 Stronglight catalog but is not in 1984 catalog.
