Chris King 1" Threaded headsets

(1/4) > >>

Humps00:
OK I know it's probably doubled the value of my bike  :idiot2: and it's not Old School, but I've just fitted a Chris King headset to it and I'm  :smitten: !! Bit of a squeeze to fit it but perseverence paid off in the end and it's a damn sight better than those ball-bearing things. 

Evolution Imports @ Bromley got it in for me (0208 290 0807 www.evolution-sales.com) and they ordered it in special for me as they don't usually handle the BMX 1" threaded sets only the standard 1" threadeds - there's quite a difference  (Head Tube Bore Size on a 1" Standard is 30.1mm whilst OS 1" BMX is 32.7mm).  If anyone wants one they'll import it for you but it takes about four weeks.  Not sure on choice of colours but I opted for silver which looks good. 

I told Evolution that I'd mention this on here as I know that sourcing a King for the older frames isn't that easy and knowing where to get one might help others.  Humps
