weird headset size

(1/3) > >>

graeme:
ok, my twin top tube, and my diamond back venom ahve a wierd headset size. They have threaded forks, but the headset is bigger than 1" but smaller than 1 1/8".
Any ideas?
I used an 1" headset on my DB and shimmed it to fit the head tube.
i already had the headset with my other frame.
Local bike shops have no idea!

oberonspacefruit:
me too.
dont know the answer tho.

lazychubs:
you sure they aint giving you a mountain bike inch headset as they to small
they did that to me .and tried to say the head tube was flared .
called him a numpty and showed him me old one lol

graeme:
i took the 1" headset out my ammaco, and it was too small for my diamond back.
Took the frame to a few bike shops but the couldnt find anything to fit it.
Looks like my new ttt has the same headtube.
Its all very wierd.
I bought some 1" bearings for my ttt cos i thought it was 1", but they are way smaller than whats already in it.

Peanut:
sounds like it'd probably fit my forks.
