I would like to give a big shout out to the Bike Farmer, of YouTube fame: Thank you for featuring my headsets in your latest video about the Madison Wisconsin Bike Swap!
We all love to keep these old bikes rolling, there is so much history and joy of riding that we all share and understand. Owning something you have built and modified yourself adds a special level of satisfaction to every ride! Thanks Bike Farmer!
Same great headsets, many people asked me for matching spacers so here's the listing for that option! Every threadless conversion needs at least a couple of spacers in there somewhere between the headset and the stem.
2 pcs 10mm, 2 pc 5mm included, along with a SILVER conversion headset.
Old School Schwinn and BMX Conversion Headset, Use Your 1 1/8” Fork With 1” Head tube Frame. This will also fit old school BMX frames but please measure to confirm the 32.7mm inside diameter head tube. For threadless forks, and external cup frames.
Newest generation! These headsets have the best finish and a new extra rubber seal in the upper cover to keep out the elements. Do not wait, these will sell fast.
Color is SILVER.
This is a conversion headset for vintage Schwinn frames and BMX frames made from 1950 to 1980. It is machined to fit what is known as a 1” steer tube, actual machined diameter of the headset is 32.7 mm, or 1.287”. This will allow a normal press fit, and matches the original size Schwinn steel cup dimensions. Stack height is 31mm. These are made from lightweight aluminum alloy.
This is a modern sealed bearing headset. The bearings are a standard size and everything is here, including the crown race, star nut, and top cap.
Use of this item requires some experience and technical skills. These headsets should be installed by an experienced bicycle mechanic.
This will not fit modern road bikes, which use a smaller 30.2mm size, Please measure first.
Installation requires a headset press. There are no returns for parts which have been installed.
I will try to answer all questions. Please ask questions before buying, thanks!
See my other auctions for more colors; Silver, Red, Gold, Blue, Black, some other colors coming soon!
I use all recycled/rescued boxes and packing materials. Everything is packed and wrapped carefully so you will receive your order in excellent condition. Save me in your list of favorite sellers, you never know what I will list next!
I just want to take a minute to thank my return customers and followers here! Most of you know how much I obsess about bicycles, and I plan to keep making these headsets and building more bikes! That said, I do encourage you to send pictures of your bikes (even if you aren't buying a headset) and tell me what projects you have planned for the present or future! Good riding to you all!
