I came across an advertisement for a frame and the description said "HEADSET 1" cartridge bearing". I have never seen a 1" head set that used "cartridge" bearings. Is there such a thing and can anyone point me to one? Not new or rare at all. The original Chris King headset (around 1982 or so?) was 1" threaded BSC with cartridge inserts. That's still a current product at CK, BTW. Here's a current model by Tange: http://www.yellowjersey.org/wfd16dc1.jpg They exist in 1" BSC threaded and also 1" AH threadless -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |

I had never seen one. I was thinking about replacing my miserable Shimano 600 contraption with one of these. Mine always shakes loose on rough roads. Around the 80s or 90s, aftermarket taper roller headset bearings were all the rage for motorcycles. At the time, they were heavily advertised as the must have accesory. |

Jobst noted that Shimano licensed its angular-contact cartridge bearing from Wilderness Trail, which I guess was a tribute to that company. http://yarchive.net/bike/head_bearing.html Interesting. I wonder why Jobst dismissed the notion of "my chain stretched from climbing steep hills". It's something I clearly experienced in Europe. When riding flatlands a chain could easily last 3000mi. When I rode in the hills of East Belgium I was lucky if I got 2000mi. Lots of mashing. Jobst was an engineer who clearly understood thing like forces, stresses, yield strength, etc. Even a dim understanding of those principles allows one to understand you're not stretching the metal of the chain. Jobst was also excellent at understanding detailed interactions of various mechanical components, and he was better than most engineers at tribology. That allowed him to understand what many people call chain "stretch." -- - Frank Krygowski |

No, the chain does not stretch, as in elastic band, but it does get longer, so what do we say? "The chain elongates" is likely an accurate description, but then we look in the dictionary and we find: elongate - 1. make long or longer by pulling and stretching stretch the fabric :-) -- cheers, John B. |

I had never seen one. I was thinking about replacing my miserable Shimano 600 contraption with one of these. Mine always shakes loose on rough roads. I believe if I had that problem I would (1) buy a new quality head set, and (2) have the top and bottom of the head tube reamed and faced to ensure that the ends were exactly at right angle to the tube and flat. And, that the head set races were properly installed using a press of some sort. Not a BFH. (BFH's work but require more skill to achieve a perfect installation) Another thing, there is play in the steer tube threads and after the threaded race is adjusted perfectly tightening lock nut will likely change things. I might comment that I have a Shimano 600 head set on one of my bikes that has never come loose :-) -- cheers, John B. |

When I rode in the hills of East Belgium I was lucky if I got 2000mi. Lots of mashing. It is a matter of nomenclature. A chain doesn't stretch the way a rubber band stretches. A chain elongates due to wear. But in colloquial English the terms stretch and elongate are frequently used interchangeably. It might be said that when something stretches it does elongate but when something elongates it doesn't necessarily stretch.

If we start people out with accurate concepts, they will understand much more easily than if we tell then BS and they have to replace false information with correct information. I think that was ulimately Jobst's goal. As regards greater chain wear in the mountains, the mechanics of that are straightforward enough. Rear tires also wear faster when doing lots of extended climbing. I miss Jobst. And Sheldon. And Bruce Hildenbrant. Among others who no longer post here for one reason or another. |

But frankly few people actually are completely descriptive in speaking. We say "bike" for bicycles and motorcycles. Some people say "cool" meaning "calm self-control (especially in trying circumstances) or unemotional" and others mean it isn't warm. We say "post" meaning a stake in the ground or the mail.
