Probably a stupid headset question..

Next time…….always a next time. ➡

But page 13 might be unlucky…?

Bugger..14?

I've got dibs on 14

So anyway, going back to the OP, I'm fairly sure they do in most cases.

but not all..

Some crown races come without headsets I believe.

did for me. Hope as I said

Did we work out a probability quotient of with / without? Is there any correlation with the manufacturer? Who won the Clown Race? There's plenty of mileage in this yet.

Are Clown Races measured in miles? I thought it was klownometers…

Race to the crown??

what percentage, in weight, is the crown race of the complete headset?

Hmm, at a guess….8% av.

Smiles, surely?

This could explain the price of some headsets?

i didnt post in here yet.

just thought i'd add my two peneth to a worthy mileage extending cause and wondered how many anagrams there are in any amount of the words ….

MACKEM NEW HEADSET CROWN RACE

..one for starters..

race won when Mack made secret

Does anyone know if Mackem actually bought a headset and if it actually came with a crown race?

Just wondering.

Chris King call theirs a baseplate. Is this the American word for crown-race?

Anyway, 1 1/8 stainless is 14g and Ti is 8g. Complete 1 1/8 Nothreadset is 98g with standard steel baseplate, which makes the baseplate 7.29% of the weight of complete Nothreadset. Very good guess Nano! On mine I upgraded to the Ti Baseplate, saving 6g but making the baseplate 8.70% of the new complete headset. (NB. all weights above are manufacturer's claimed weights, I've not had mine completely out to weigh it, just apart to stick some grease in)
It may seem counter-intuative that the lighter one is a higher proportion of the weight of a complete headset, but then this is of course a higher proportion of a smaller number.

I use the words 'complete headset' above advisably, I have heard rumours somewhere that not all headsets come with crown-races/baseplates included.

The plot thickens…….

Naok darling, Naok 😉

WHAT??!!

Does Boris know? There'll be merry hell I grant thee.

Any news yet on this? The lack of input is quite poor.

I found this all the way down on page 3. Surely this hasn't grown old yet???

And again on page 2!

We must be getting close to unlucky 13 by now surely?

Dips toe in water……

…….eases in up to ankle……

Perhaps…

…..no way.
