retro-fit H set cups

[skids]

does anyone have or know of; where I can get a set of Rekka headset cups-
    that allow you to fit threadless forks to an old style 1" frame?
Any info would be great......Cheers

Rekka Phil has been gone so long now, you'll be lucky to find em I reckon, unless they're gathering dust on a shop shelf somewhere.  We must have a couple of engineers on site, might be easier to ask them to turn you a set - or maybe more and flog em on?

I was looking to make some FSA impact cups that would fit into a 1" frame, but its going to be tight .....and after measuring allot of frames I realised that allot of frames have different sized 1" headtubes ....
I would get them made, but i dont have the time at present.

 oh well... I'll just keep looking; but thanks anyway guys.

Have a word with Rombloke, Im sure you can fit 1"1/4 forks into an old skool Frame, I remember seeing someone on here had done it.

i've done it before. so has spacefruit

think "round peg square hole . . . "

i put up a how-to thread with pics one time.

Yeah, it's a case of mixing and matching the bearings I believe?

[theRuler]

use the bearings loose from a regular 1" head set (you need about 3 races' worth) and 1" cups and the rest from an aheadset

Thats the kidder.  Never done it myself, but heard the rumours.....

it works ok. you sometimes get a stiff spot if you run a gyro.

but its good for your basic riding.
