Title: alloy tange levin headset?????
Post by: dwain dibbly on December 27, 2006, 08:09 PM

just found a little bike shop today whilst out on my travels
and managed to get a pair of aero zytecs for £25 :D :daumenhoch:
but while i was there i got a tange headset.
now im not sure of the age but its a alloy tange levin
30.2 26.4
what does anyone know about them?
were they race headsets being alloy?
what would they be worth?
i think the guy in the shop has a fair few of them so i
may be going back  :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch:

It's not a BMX specific headset but still a good one.

would it be acceptable  on an 86 pro performer?
or is it to "new school"?????

check the sizes of the thread and the diameter of the cups as it may be non BMX size

what rich said, race(road) headsets have smaller insert diameters.
