I'm looking to buy my first frame which takes an integrated headset, which is new territory for me!
How many standards are there, looking on CRC doesn't seem to help, they mention Campag and BMX amongst others. The frame manufacturer says it needs a standard integrated set.
Any help appreciated!
Cheers, Rich
What kind of frame?
Lot of Integrated/semi integrated types out there.
Specifically it's [url= http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/160571909339?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_9089wt_1248 ]this[/url] frame
and the Chinese eBay seller has said:
the headset is 1-1/8 intergraged 😆

Looking at that frame you indeed need an integrated headset this is where the sealed headset bearings seat directly into the headtube of the frame there are no cups to be pressed in, however telling which one its going to be is tricky from the picture but it doe's look like a campag one of which most bmx's use, campag compatible bearings have larger agular sections on the bearings compared to cane creek and fsa, ultimatly you won't know until it arrives.
OK, thanks for the info, I might buy 2 different headsets and return the one I don't use.
