My new sparkly Super Dew frame has arrived (thanks crc) and it needs an integrated headset, it seems that not all integrated headsets are alike (?) so how do i find out which one will fit?

I took advantage of the same deal; smart frame although I think fiting a rack might be tough past the disc calliper ... I'm sure I'll make it work!

As fr the headset, Cane Creek headset finder ([url= http://www.canecreek.com/headset-fit-finder ]link[/url]) says it is the following standard;

SHIS:IS42/28.6|IS42/30 (1-1/8" Italian Integrated IS Standard)

They don't, however, give a link to the equivalent CC headset. Visually I would say it certainly isn't the Cane Creek standard IS (my IBIS has that, the cup doesn't look the same).

I'm probably just going to drag the frame down to my LBS to get them to find the right standard

Hi, i spoke to CRC in the end, they recommended [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=15888 ]this headset[/url]

They also emailed and said that one way to tell was from the internal measurement:

[i]34mm indicates a Standard 1.1/8"
41mm is a standard 1.1/8" Cane Creek Integrated
41.8mm is a 1.1/8" Campagnolo Integrated
44mm is Semi-Integrated[/i]
