Sorry for the poor rushed pics, but I think you'll get the idea.......
(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/f171/Ph0eb3/xmas07004.jpg)
Headtube with an ID of 30mm. The forks are 1" threaded.
I want to fit a shiney chrome headset, but the 1" Halfrauds sets have bearing cups with a diameter of 33mm....they aint gonna fit. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Any help will be greatfully accepted.
Cheers,
Jason.

For old/mid school BMX, th OD of the cup should be 32.7mm (33mm isn't too bad), the ID of the head tube should be approx 32.4 - 32.6mm.
Is it possible that the frame you have is a newer asian shitter? I ask because it may have a JIS headset.
-
Yes it is newer...A Raleigh Team Pro 07......what is a JIS?
-
JIS - Japanese Industrial Standard
I think I have a black headset to fit if you need one, but I take it you want a chrome one?
-
Cheers Moose I'm really after a chrome one...but if I'm stuck and if yours is NOS can I call on you later?
Many thanks for your help by the way,
Jason.

No need for it to be NOS, JIS is a current standard. Try your local bike shop, if he can't help you, I'll see if mine has a chrome one :daumenhoch:

just got back from the local bike shop...been through the catalogues with him...the only one in chrome that will fit is £19.99 :shocked:
-
I'll pop in my LBS later this week and see what he's got :daumenhoch:
