How Original Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Well after going to be the bike shop yesterday and getting new parts, getting home and trying to fit them and they won't fit. I now have bought a full new headset. And I am needing some help in how to fit it to my bike as I always had trouble with the old ones. I have tried a few different ways, and when I tighten it up, the handlebars just won't turn. I tried reading the instructions, but got a bit lost as I don't know the "technical" name for all the rings and bearings and everything else. So I have put a picture below, in the hope someone can help me finally fit my headset. Please somebody give me some clue to how to do this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
How Original Posted March 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 I have now being told, after buying this 1 1/8th headset, that my frame is the next size up. Can anyone tell me what the next size up headset is from 1 1/8th inch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomm Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Take it to a bike shop. Fitting headsets is hard enough when you DO know what you're doing. And you don't (seriously, you can do harm to the frame so don't take that risk) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
How Original Posted March 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Yeah I am taking it back today, after getting help from Jake "dirt jumper jake" I've now been informed it's an internal headset... Which the shop didn't inform me and it came with a normal one fitted so I had no idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
