I'm just about to start building up my 95/96 Condor - 1" threaded forks, clamp on stem and a 1" Odyssey Gyro - but what would be the best headset to use?
-
:) Don`t think a clamp-on stem will fit onto 1"threaded forks.The steerer tube maybe too short,and most clamp on stems are 1 1/8?
-
Unless...
Is it a Hoffman Superfork?
That would make it a 1" threadless clamp on. I think they came out around 95/96.
-
cheers for the replies folks, will pop back in the loft and have a look :daumenhoch:
-
Here's a 1" Hoffman clamp on...

yeah thats the same stem as I have, forks are 1" with threaded section at the top (must be for a nut to screw down to the stem like the superforks?) I guess a 1" aheadset and some spacers would be the best choice?
-
i had a friend who just gave a regular 1" headset a quick rub with a file over the threads to use on his superforks.
-
tioga beartrap 2 should fit ok too, i have BT2 on my s&m forks although i was given a top nut with them,
you may need to file the top nut on the BT2 headset to fit your super forks,
if not this is awsome
