Headset Size Headache???

I went to fit the cups to the Piranha tonight, I bought a Tange MX2 1", but they're too big.

What's the next size down that you recommend that I try?

Cheers Dan. :daumenhoch:

Measure the internal diametre of the headtube Dan and then hit ebay  ;)  Im guessing you need a 30.2  ;)

This might do the trick mate  ... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-Threaded-Bike-Headset-Head-Set-Traditional-Retro-Bike-Cycle-3-Types-/111191367947?pt=UK_sportsleisure_cycling_bikeparts_SR&var=&hash=item19e385a10b#ht_1800wt_1018

You need the 1" standard not the BMX one as daft as that sounds  ;)
