what happened to the good ol'days of 1" headsets

right... I've bought some Landing Gear 1 1/8 forks that have a big shim thing at the top that look like they would go with a big head tube frame and I'm looking for a headset to fit it.

These are going on a Dyno NFX with a 1 1/8 headset and I've got a headset off of the Haro Mirra that has a larger bottom cup and bearing race than the top cup... is that normal with headsets?? thats the kind of thing I need.

Theres a pic of the forks below... if anyone can recommend a headset to match these forks or let me know where I can get one with a bigger bottom cup than the top... or nay info on fitting these forks in the frame would be great

You need an fsa pig headset mate. Should fit with no problems. And has a large lower cup and bearing race.

I have one somewhere if you want it. £10 posted. Cheers stu

If Stu cant find his one let me know I've got a chrome one here, Think a seal might be missing and there is some pit marks, But you cant get chrome ones any more.
