[#4027344]

I want to buy a works components angle headset. My headtube length is 129.54 mm and the headsets come in sets for headtube sizes of: '123-129mm' & '130-136mm'.
Which one should I buy, or would it not make any difference? I've tried contacting works components a few times now but they never respond.

Cheers

Far too difficult a question presumably.

Face 0.54mm off your headtube if you believe it will make a difference ;

How have measured this 129.54mm? Seems like a very accurate figure for a bike co. to issue or if its you measuring it, then measure a few times to be sure/until you get a number that fits into the 2 ranges above
Get your headtube faced at least to remove paint and make sure its properly square before you put an angle adjust h/set in there. Will presumable put it in the 123-129mm range then too

Yes im probably over complicating it, the size of the headtube is from the bike website 5.1" which is 129.54mm. I'll just measure it by hand and see what it comes out as or buy the smaller set.

Seeing as you're measuring to such high tolerances the 123-129 headset won't be quite so slack as the next size;)

I tried contacting them a few times and they didn't reply either.

Amazingly, when I emailed them to say they had sent me two headsets for the price of one they replied in minutes...
