Where do you get the mixed 1.125 and 1.25 headsets from. Or is it just a marketing ploy so you have to buy two and only use half of each.
Yeah probably.
The mag also features some wheels that cost £2600!!!!!
hijack, brakes arrive??
Hi Ton - yup finally managed to get them today (not your fault - TNT failing to put a card through my door/knock on my door!)
Look good, cheers.
1in threaded will always be the one true way! Fight the power.
"Where do you get the mixed 1.125 and 1.25 headsets from"
Do you mean 1.125" to 1.5" headsets?
here's a funny article on the whole new 'marketing' standard thing...

its great it means there will be loads of deals on old obsolete 1.25 steerer forks going cheap and frames
Do you mean 1.125" to 1.5" headsets?
No, he means mixed headsets. Another lovely "standard" is 1.5" at the bottom and 1.125 at the top aka "coneheads". There was an article in Dirt recently saying that this could be the standard that wins in the end. Who knows, though?
To answer the original question, there is one company (maybe Cane Creek, can't remember) who sell top and bottom halves of headsets separately and make them in both sizes.
As per my comment on the thread about 20mm vs QR, will the average rider* on the average trail really notice a great deal of difference?
