Chris King 1" Threaded headsets

[Humps00]

OK I know it's probably doubled the value of my bike  and it's not Old School, but I've just fitted a Chris King headset to it and I'm  !! Bit of a squeeze to fit it but perseverence paid off in the end and it's a damn sight better than those ball-bearing things. 

Evolution Imports @ Bromley got it in for me (0208 290 0807 www.evolution-sales.com) and they ordered it in special for me as they don't usually handle the BMX 1" threaded sets only the standard 1" threadeds - there's quite a difference  (Head Tube Bore Size on a 1" Standard is 30.1mm whilst OS 1" BMX is 32.7mm).  If anyone wants one they'll import it for you but it takes about four weeks.  Not sure on choice of colours but I opted for silver which looks good. 

I told Evolution that I'd mention this on here as I know that sourcing a King for the older frames isn't that easy and knowing where to get one might help others.  Humps

Sorry Simon but if you need to ask you can't afford one!!    By the way, Evolution also have the King hubs in stock too - now you're talking serious pennies    but you gets what you pay for (c£340 for the rear hub alone!!).  Humps

[RATTY]

£300 quid for a hub  

Thats taking it to extremes Al, not sure we can justify them on our old bikes, well not this year anyway

kings headsets were £100    ive got a 1,18th red one in my shed, it was on my giant atx1 mtb i had , they are good but £100    just abit of bling

an old school normal headset is like a womans legs with big ass blue veins all over them and spots.
compaired to a king headset
which is like a models legs all the way up to her neck in silk stockings

i'm fairly sure king made a few titanium "1 versions

£250 headset?

[Humps00]

i'm fairly sure king made a few titanium "1 versions

I think you're right but I suspect they concentrated on the standard 1" rather than the BMX version.  They do a run of the 1.1/8th A-head version each year I believe and you're looking at c£250 for that little baby!!  Harris's analogy is spot on; I'm holding the thought of silk stockings  !!  But then Webdawg/OSS Queen would say that I'm just a dirty old man  Humps
