What type of Headset is this?

[CraigMB]

Hi Guys

 

I am importing a Chinese carbon frame and can't tell what type of headset it uses. Attached is the photo, any ideas? The seller says its a tapered 1 1/8  - 1 1/5 conventional headset but I think it might be an integrated type?

 

Thanks!

Looks integrated, unless the cups are already pressed into the frame? Ask him for pics of the headtube

Is it a mtb frame?

[CraigMB]

Attached the geometry of the frame if that helps? And yes it is a MTB frame.

So after looking at their geometry picture I have decided it must be integrated. It says No.42/ABC which is just too close to this FSA headset to be a coincidence.

What are the dimensions of the bearings? I'm having trouble with my headset as well

Welcome to the hub.

 

Yes if that is the whole headset then it will be integrated, ie there will be carbon or alloy cups molded in to the frame.

 

Those bearings are for a tapered 1 1/8  - 1 1/5 fork, so as long as you have a tapered fork you all good.

What brand of headset do you have, ie make of the cups?

That is probably a Neco semi integrated headset. Got 2 of them. Works perfectly.

Why do you need to know?

 

That is a tapered headset. And either the cups are in the frame or molded like stated above.

 

Btw. You can use a straight steerer fork in a tapered headtube frame

 

And yes they will refer to it as a "standard" headset as this is the standard these days. All HS are "integrated". Ie uses cup and bearings.

 

The conventional HS disappeared years ago.
