Paperclip Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 Hey Trials-forum, I recently got a new frame from Tart, Unlike every other frame I've owned this takes internal headset, with the stuff I got from Tart's due too lack of funding for everything I needed I got the cheap headset, Mainly too put me on until I could fund a better one, Threw the crap weather we've had the headset's managed too beat my wallet and die on me. I cannot afford a hope so I'm looking on chain reaction for any sealed headset for a pretty low price really, Here's what I've found HEADSET Would this fit my Ozony's and if not is there any on there that would, This is a pretty poor effort on my behalf I usually know my bike from top too bottom but I have no clue what fits there's at least 4 other size's I've seen on there that make no sense too me. I always thought it was standard 1 1/8? Anyway if someone could help me out it would be brill. (Where's onzaboymark when you need him :$ ) Thanks Guy's.

dirt jumper jake Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 (edited) HEADSET Looks like a standard 45/45 to me so it should fit Edit: the full curve builds use these: http://www.bonzbikes.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=30&Itemid=4&lang=en Looks like you need a semi intergrated Edit 2 : http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/internal_headsets/basic_internal_headset/c88p10869.html tarty says these fit...

Paperclip Posted January 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 (edited) Thanks, Anyone care too clarify? Would the headset linked in my first post fit? Edited January 2, 2011 by Seabasss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Burrows Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 Thanks, Anyone care too clarify? Would the headset linked in my first post fit? No it won't, you need an internal or semi-integrated as Jake said. That link you posted is for an integrated headset, with a typically incorrect and shit listing from CRC. The link that Jake posted for the headset on Tarty is what you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I currently have a headset from Tarty However the bearings are pretty poor, I've re-greased since fitting it a week back and there still cringing and creaking, I'm just after a sealed bearing headset without having too go the extent of paying £55 pounds as I cannot afford too do so.

Paperclip Posted January 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 WOULD THIS FIT Could someone let me know if the above would fit please? Thanks guys for the help so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Burrows Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 Yes it should do, although it doesn't have cartridge bearings according to the description. This is the cheapest cartridge internal headset I could find on CRC. No cheaper than the Atomz one on Tarty. Before you rush to spend money though, what is exactly wrong with the current one? Do the bearings feel really rough or are they just creaking? If everything is greased and you are just getting a creak it would suggest something more than bearings, possibly the cups moving in the frame. You can replace the ball bearings on the headset you've got which would be the cheapest option. Aslong as the bearing surfaces aren't damaged it would run great with new bearings. You can just pop the bearings out of the cage and replace them all one by one. Obviously it would be quicker and easier to just replace the whole headset if it is the bearings which are your problem. P.S. I deserve some rep for typing all that out 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.S. I deserve some rep for typing all that out I'd give you a hug if I could, My problems with the headset I am running now is the headset keeps locking up on me, I used a tiny dose of LM grease while fitting as they dident look up too much at the start, I've had problems with this type of bearing in the past, Id much rather start a fresh with a headset using the better style bearing. The cup's went in nice and snug so I can only put it down too being a crap headset really. If the headset linked will do the job for the price It will be ideal for me, Id have got a atomz one at the start if tarty had them in stock. Thanks for the help dude, Proving there are still people who would put them selves out for others on this forum And too dirt jumper jake also.

Matt Burrows Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 No worries dude (I'm unemployed with a lot of spare time on my hands ) And yes that FSA one I linked to or the Atomz one on Tarty will work just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
