[Closed] Integrated headset question (probably stupid etc.)

Ha, a bike question too hard for you lot eh?

Here you go.
Something to get you teeth into 🙂

Cheers Rob. A right load of old SHIS eh?

This Hope guide is quite helpful:

What you need is an 'Integral' headset as distinct from an 'Integrated' one, where the bearings pop directly into the frame. Yours is one where the cups sit right inside an oversized headtube.

I know freaks you out doesn't it. 🙂
44mm semi headset me thinks...

Dez, I realise this is for a hack bike but i have used this model of FSA headset in the past and was plesently impressed by it

Philconci-noncence has it now as I had bought a spare and then changed to be able to fit tapered forks on my bike so sold the spare to him earlier this year.

The main reason I am recommending the extra bit of spend on this one is the cups are really sturdy on that model (I just replaced the bearings in the one that was fitted when i got the bike) and then the bearings are cane creek standard bearings that can be got for about £8 each when the ones supplied die.

Dez...Your right with the one you linked to crc bud...

Cheers all. Rusty - the FSA one is out of stock.
I've ordered the cheapest

They look good those do dez.
Think i,ll replace the crappy stock one on my spicy with one of those.
Can't go wrong for that money..

Didn't notice that, sure you'll be fine with the cheaper one.

Can i suggest you note down the numbers on the bearings when you get them as they get worn over time and when you need to replace them you will struggle to read them.
