headset question

I'm curious in regards to the term "standard cup" for headsets. Does this
mean they're threaded? Threadless? Integrated or zero-stack? Would someone
kindly clear up what a "standard cup" means?

It refers to headset cup-&-cone bearings, and has
no other relationship to fork retention in the
headtube.

A standard cup has 12mm of depth. IIRC a "deep"
cup has 22mm of depth. There exist specific tools
for installation and removal of either type of cup.

The search engine of your choice would no doubt
cough-up further and more detailed info for you
than I could succinctly provide in this post.


cheers,
