I can't find the cup dimension for these, but would they work on BMX?

Is it a 1" threaded? If so what you using it on?

For a rider you can't do better than a beartrap II

1" threaded for RL1000 i've got on the go.  Just something different!  I need a Beartrap, but not exactly thick on the ground at the mo......

i doubt that will fit a bmx, i have a nos beartrap headset for a mtb and the cups are too small for the frame.
