Raleigh Randonneur headset
Does anyone happen to know what size (threaded) headset I would need for
a late 1990s Raleigh Randonneur? 1" or 1-1/8"? I don't really want to dismantle it all just to measure! Thanks -- Paul Boyd http://www.paul-boyd.co.uk/ |

Thanks Marten and James. I make that 1" on both counts, so 1" it is!
Cheers guys -- Paul Boyd http://www.paul-boyd.co.uk/ |

I am probably being stupid (can't see the wood for the trees ,not unusual then) but surely 1.125 IS 1 1/8" -- This post contains no hidden meanings, no implications and certainly no hidden agendas so it should be taken at face value.

I though Marten's post gave two sets of dimensions (spanner size, stem diameter) for both 1 inch and 1.125 inch. Paul (the OP) didn't say what he'd got, but (presumably) went away and measured the bits Marten listed and decided which he had. but surely 1.125 IS 1 1/8" This bit is true. Tim |

See said I was thick, I see now all those numbers are two sets of dimensions, I had just noticed the "headset =" at the end, so thought it was saying the headset WAS 1 1/8" not those were the sizes IF the headset was 1 1/8. -- This post contains no hidden meanings, no implications and certainly no hidden agendas so it should be taken at face value.

Tim beat me to it! The spanner size for the top nut is 1.25", = 1" headset. It had better be, because that's what I've now bought! Another niggle is that there seem to be two fork crown sizes; 26.4mm and 27.0mm I'm pretty sure that the latter is Japanese, but I'm still a tad nervous. -- Paul Boyd http://www.paul-boyd.co.uk/ |

My road bike has a french fork crown race because I split the English sized one and figures a french on ewould fit better. It seems to. ...d |

Another niggle is that there seem to be two fork crown sizes; 26.4mm and 27.0mm I'm pretty sure that the latter is Japanese, but I'm still a tad nervous. 26.4 is correct, and 27.0 is indeed JIS. The other issue is stack height: I remember only that an early-nineties Shimano XT HP-M735 was just about perfect for mine, while a later Shimano STX was too tall. James Thomson |
