Advice needed on headset. Thanks!
I would like to find the correct headset for my MTB - Zero Stack or
Integrated Standard. The frame is a Swedish Crescent. Probably a first generation aluminium frame with oversize tubing from around the year 2000. Size of headtube/steerer is 44/28.6 | 44/30. It had a semi-integrated headset installed. When I dismantled the headset I discovered that the headtube was machined and had an inside bevel, both top and bottom. This inside bevel makes me believe that it might need an Integrated headset. I spoke to a tech guy who said that a Zero Stack headset was probably the correct one because of the age of the frame. However, at Park Tool they list (as obsolete) an integrated headset which would fit the headtube: Integrated-angular contact 1-1/8" steering column 36 x 36 degree contact There is a picture of the headtube he monoform.com/temporar/headset/ Any help would be much appreciated! Best regards! MIke |

They will have a gauge like this: http://www.yellowjersey.org/photosfr...st/hsgauge.jpg -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |
