Hi guys, i've got my hands on a lovely 84 Prostyler F&F so looking to build it up, now I was sure its a 1 inch headset but I tried one earlier at a local BMX specialist shop & it rattled inside the head tube. I tried a 1.1/8 & it seemed to fit (very tight) but should be ok with a bit of sanding down of the powder coat inside to fit properly
Not really sure what im asking here but i was surprised its not 1 inch, anyone shed any light? Also what size seat post would I need, 22.2?
Thanks chaps

Should be the standard size to be honest ???

You need a standard 1'' threaded BMX headset.
I'm guessing that the headset you tried was not a true 1'' threaded, maybe one of the thinner road type headsets that say a VDC would require.
Normally Prostyler headtubes are tighter than Radmans wallet when it comes to fitting a headset.

standard 1" headset like a beartrap 2

Thanks for your replies chaps, theres different types of 1'' threadded headset? I had a prob when I resored my ET, couldnt find a headset the right size in any bike shop in Bristol. When I showed them the cups i'd taken out & they measured them some shops even said they have never seen a set that size :D
The shop was a BMX specialist in Bristol so they should know their stuff.

Different size for new school and old school in 1" The Mori in the for sale section will do the Job :daumenhoch:

the problem with some specialist bmx shops is they their not old enough to remember 1" headsets on a bmx. ::)
