Threaded headset and a headset spanner

[Andrew_Culture]

Needed for this mind-bending SingleSpeed project. I need these couple of bits so that I can finish my SingleSpeed build, and it occurs to me that someone might have a threaded headset sitting in the back of a drawer somewhere. I know it might sound cheeky, but I'd prefer the cartridge type because I just know that if I use loose bearings they'll end up between the floorboards, under my eyelids, inside a cat etc etc.

I measured the inside of the top of the headtube with some vernier callipers and they doth say 1.18"

Also, a headset spanner would be reet handy

Love you!

The size of a headset is determined by the external diameter of the fork steerer, not the internal diameter of the headtube: you need a 1" headset.

The internal diameter of the crown race will vary slightly, depending on whether they are ISO, Italian or JIS: yours is ISO, so 26.4mm.

I have a couple of ugly, but serviceable ones in my parts box: you are welcome to one in exchange for four tins of Red Stripe; although I recommend you buy the steel A9, the bearings are caged so can't go anywhere.

Jim, that sounds like a good deal to me! Are you in residence this morning?

Now that seems like a reasonable trade.

The sauce was good, but the Vodka undrinkably hot: should have held out for beer...

That's a phrase to live by

Nah, naga beer would be a terrible idea.
