Headset for threadless 1 inch forks
« on: June 28, 2015, 09:59 PM »
Got some Landing Gear lites I want to use but struggling to find correct headset.
Brought a 1 inch Aheadset but the cups are too small for the frame.
Was thinking I might just get the forks threaded and go with standard OS headset.
Advice needed
Cheers  :)

Maybe they are Marty? Brought from Skatepool shop recent.

Going on a 92 Ripper so standard OS cup size.

A bit lost on this one.  :uglystupid2:

You'll need to measure the inside diameter of the frame head tube to make sure the cup sizes match as road 1 inch is different to bmx 1 inch.
