I got this frame and fork - and guess what? The frame is 1.1/8" headtube, and the forks 1" !!
Im gonna use the frame but therefore need 1.18" ahead [threadless ] forks - anyone got any they wanna swap for my 1" threaded?

Told you so, told you so
Only joking.
The muppet did exactly the same to me, and then he proceeded to send, and charge me, 2 more headsets which were no good.
I bought some shims from somewhere, but I cannot remember for the life of me where I got them. I think it was a mountain bike shop on the tintereweb. They solved the problem, so you can use a standard 1" headset in the 1 1/8" frame.
Sorry I can't be more specific.
I will have a look and let you know if I come up with anything.

Oh, by the way, I may have a trade if you are interested, but my 1 1/8" forks are black I'm afraid.

i have waited 8 weeks for a frame, on half a dozen occasions.
i have never had an item not show up though!!!
except for one frame i bought off a dude off here - he didnt post, fed me some excuses, then never signed on again.
thanks

just one of those things i guess
the other 99% of stuff i have bought from guys on here has turned up quick with no problems though
radbmx is the best place to buy.
perhaps not the best place to make a greedy profit (although people do try), but most reliable in terms of sellers.

OK - here's where to get headset shims - wiggle.co.uk and billys.co.uk - they are Id HEadset Reducers [by Ison Distribution] and they fit inside your 1.18" headtube to make it accept 1" headset cups.
