oberonspacefruit:
i still think it will be tricky tho.cup-bearins-bearin ring-platic thing-squasher-next bit will be too big wont it?

theRuler:
well you know what they say - if it aint tight it isnt right!

lazychubs:
they do fit in the cups sort off lol
as ive tried it aswell worse case senario
 is you could get slightly bigger bearings to space it out

Sanmarcopizza:
I checked for this on another site and came across the following extracts from various threads that might be helpful...

"get a typical tange or tioga oldschool headset (if you don't already have that) and get a newschool "Tank" headset.

use the oldschool cups and use everything else from the Tank."

"I did this a few years ago when the ahead setup first came out. I used the cheap Ahead headset with the black steel cups. The only thing you will need to use differently with a 1 inch headtube frame is a set of 1 inch bearing cups. You should be able to use almost any headset that is offered in both 1 inch and 1 1/8. "

"yes, but make sure you get the right "A-headset". not all makes and models will work for this modification. i did it once- i think i used dia-comp tank guts with old tange 1" cups. "

theRuler:
