Wouldn't think it's what you may need,

It's oversize (1-1/8")

Mini's are normally road-bike 1" (OS bmx is still 1" but different cup sizes and crown race)

i think 1.1/8th is 32mm - i bought one anyway.
i need 32mm bmx size.
not mini sized. = 30.2mm
what is bugging me is the 34mm in the advert.
a hatta style headset for a tenner posted seems worth the punt?
