ok having trouble finding a headset for the skyway ta 24
the internal cups are a odd size, and cant be found here in nl
can anybody help me ?
-
Its not an internal headset on them, standard 1 1/8 with press in cups is what you need.
-
I know: but there are several sizes in cup diameter
wich one do i have to buy ?
-
Just any standard 1 1/8th headset dude..... They only come in one size :daumenhoch:
-
i know that also , but the headtube size is differend
the internal size of the headtube is 33.5 or 33.6 mm
the cups that needed to be pressed in are differend sizes, and to big wont fit
its hard to explain when english aint my home language
technical terms are hard to explain
i really cant find a fitting size and pressing them in hmmz wont it hurt the headtube or chrome ?
-
Just buy a Chris King.
Contact Patric (Senzo) as he speaks your language.
-
Ok what i am trying to say is
there are 1 1/8 threadless headsets on the market that seems to have cupsize 35,36,37,38mm ( that goes inside the headtube)
So these wont fit
But everywhere i look there is no cup diameter size to be seen in the description
so i can easely order a 1 /18 headset but if the cups are to big its just a waste of money
i need cups that are 33.8 or 33.9
-
Never heard of that before, I just thought a 1 1/8th standard headset fits all 1 1/8th headtubes ???:-)
-
i wish mate
i thought the same as you
1 size fits all
seems not to be the case :tickedoff:
-
As long as you specify ts for a BMX you'll be fine. All those other sizes are mob 4x jump bike sizes, but as said before you can't go wrong with a Chris king
-
