AdamR28 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Here are a few pictures, absolutely aware of the shocking finish where the anodising hasn't fully come off, hense the shitty spray job and lack of being arsed. You have the right headset there. The headset should be ~44.10mm and the head tube ~44.00mm. On small point to make is that the Onza head tube isn't quite standard so a 'correct' internal headset won't insert fully into the head tube - but that's nothing to do with the diameter. What did you use to remove the anodising? Unfortunately internal headsets are not just one size fits all. Pretty sure internal headsets are all 44.0mm. Integrated though, that's a minefield.

trialsmax04 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Intergrated is differnt to internal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Yep. Internal = cups go inside the frame (ie. internally), integrated = no cups, bearings go straight into the frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsmax04 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) Ahh okay think im with you now. Still if his frames damaged, might be a thought to find an intergrated headset to go in? Edited February 23, 2011 by trialsmax04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 if this is the second time you have done this why didnt you just ring tarty and ask what headset it needs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Assuming you didn't try and fit that Pig headset with a spade or anything, I don't really think there'd be a problem with returning it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did you use to remove the anodising? Pretty sure internal headsets are all 44.0mm. Integrated though, that's a minefield. So I do have the right headset then? I spoke to rock and roll bikes who suggested the one DJJ suggested, this one I used caustic soda to attempt at removing it. Intergrated is differnt to internal Ahh if this is the second time you have done this why didnt you just ring tarty and ask what headset it needs? I assumed that if the external headset didn't fit, that i'd need the internal headset from Tarty that listed them to fit Onza's Assuming you didn't try and fit that Pig headset with a spade or anything, I don't really think there'd be a problem with returning it... I bought that from eBay. I bought the interal basic headset from Tarty. Really do appreciate all these replies though, so cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Either the head tube is flared (stretched), or the caustic soda you used to strip the frame has removed some material too, so the head tube is now oversized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted March 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Update! Ordered the headset recommended by Jake and it looks like it's going to fit snugly! It doesn't go in the headtube fully and will need force to be fit, so that means it's going to fit right?! Awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
