I remember having a little trouble putting one on my last race bike because it wasn't quite what i expected. Think i had got mixed up with something, i sussed it in the end though but i remember thinking, "that's not quite the same as a normal bmx headset even though the size is correct.
(Could have been me just been a nugget though :D)

none of the parts fit over the fork thread and the top nut is far too small i will get the fork diameter on here tomoro to try and get to the bottom of this :daumenhoch: im in harlow robbo
