OM Flyer headset and BB help

(1/2) > >>

Crazy Bike:
Hi - I'm by no means an expert, so please go easy on me! - I'm looking for some sound advice.
A few years ago, I bought this 26" OM Flyer for a bit of fun. I've changed a couple of things - modern Shimano DX Pedals, brown Ame cam grips and a lighter SE seat.
I love this bike, but have 2 issues bugging me that I want to sort: 1st being the shocking headset and 2nd being the stock bottom bracket.
I've been looking at Chris King headsets and Profile bottom brackets...but which ones will fit?
Any help appreciated.

As far as headsets go, the standard no thread 1 1/8th King headset will fit  :daumenhoch:


I can't be to sure from the photo but it looks like a standard US sized BB and will probably be 19mm bearings  :daumenhoch:

Thanks for the reply.
So this headset should be the one then?:

And this bottom bracket - will it be ok with the std. SE crank?:

pickle:
Yes to the headset but without better pictures of your BB shell i wouldn't want to say yes to the profile BB
