1" fork thread die - NOW WITH PICS - ALL SORTED!!!!!

(1/7) > >>

GavinDavis:
Right, im having an absolute nightmare trying to get my headset on some 1" forks.

Even though they were nos, the thread was a bit rusty so I wd40'd the sucka and set about it with a wire brush. The headset will only go on about 1/4 inch and then locks solid.

Does anyone have a die that I could clean the thread up with? Or point me in the direction of the right one for me to buy?

oldschoolace:
Have you got an old lock nut you can use to clean the thread up with Gavin? Bit of Dw and the right spanner should do the trick, assuming the fork threads are the same pitch as your headset?  :-\

I might be able to dig one out that I can grind the top off and use that to work it down?

Its a beartrap 2 headset so im assuming its the same pitch as my forks? I cant imagine it would be different but you never know lol
