    Has it really been 3 months since anyone contributed to this font of knowledge on headsets?

    There must be at least 3 new standards in that time.

    I’m a headset guru now, no need for this thread any more.

    We should keep it going as the ‘go to’ resource for headset knowledge then – it’s clearly been an education for you…

    It’s still alive!!!

    I wonder if you could cross breed this thread with the remains of the picolax thread?

    The thru-axle thread reminded me of this.

    I’ve not seen the thru-axle thread.
    Why on earth would a headset need an axle?

    i’ve been on this forum for at least the 6 years this thread has, and this is the first time i’ve seen it.
    i started reading the first page and actually laughed out loud.
    happy days

    but i have a question, and this seems like the right place to ask: i was planning to buy a new headset, and i was just wandering…

    Wandering? Anywhere nice?

    I got a new headset (Hope) came with a crown race – bonus!

    If it didn’t come with a crown race your balls would fall out.

    Did it come with a baseplate for fitting to the fork too?

    Is this the oldest thread on STW?

    The crazy thing is that the answer is just “yes”, and there was even consensus on it, which basically never happens!

    I remember when this started too.

    Been seeing this thread for years and just decided to see what was so stupid about the question. Can’t believe it’s been kept alive after 7 years. I might read page 2 in another 7 years

    Bugger. I hate to undermine njee’s ‘consensus’ but…

    Anyone got a spare one? Must be good condition and cheaper than a new one. Email in profile.

    I have only just seen this thread after years of perusing others.

    Why I clicked on it today I have no idea.

    I am glad I did.

    Is the OP still around? Or is he somewhere else being stupid?

    …to think I actually thought this thread contained 39 pages of extremely detailed technical headset chat.

    I bought a headset which didn’t include a crown race.

    Ok that’s not a true story but in STW tradition I wanted to put forward an opposing view.

    The OP is still here, being stupid in more places nowadays,

    This thread is a gentle reminder of what this place was like before Brexit.

    if your new headset came with two races, which one would you choose?

    Mackem

    The one that finished first.

    This thread will be around long after the McGregor/ Mayweather fight is all but forgotten.

    two races, which one would you choose?

    Raceist, you shouldn’t choose. You should see everyone one as one race. This can be achieved by getting really close and going a bit cross eyed.

    Ah, I remember the days when “does it come with a crown race” was about the only query when buying a headset. Look at them now, it’s like trying to buy a coffee.
