pickle:
yeah i'd have to agree.....not good for a rider

tobybrown35:
  found a shim on chainreaction with about a .2 difference allowing 4 paint it should fit snug would the stack height affect it

thecrooch:
the thing with CK stuff is its engineered to an inch of its life and its only meant to do one thing.... i just wouldnt do it man..... itll only end in tears.. i just dont muck about with the front end... its all too near the face and dirt...

I cant remember the exact dimensional difference between 1" road threaded headset, and 1" bmx headset.

But i cant see a problem with having a couple of rings (shims) made, to make the cups fit the frame properly.

This type of thing was available to make 1 1/8" headsets fit 1 1/4" cannondale/klein mtb frames.

I have had to shim the lower race on to the fork leg with shim steel (essentially sheets of coke can material), with no probs.

A well fitting ring would not affect the structural integrity of the headset.
