Title: headset questions
Post by: im_alan_partridge on July 31, 2006, 06:23 PM

hey
where can i buy just the bolt (that goes down into forks) and a set of bearings (open, kind of ring of bearings thing) or do i have to buy a whole new headset. dont really want the hassle of changeing the cups as there fine.
if it is a new head set, what bit do i measure to see what size it is? and will any make fit any bike.
i dont want to spend alot as the whole bike was only £25 and im just mastering riding of the kerb.
the bike is mid/new school db.
wish i never took it apart it only had slight movement now ive knackered the above parts  :-[

cheers
