What is threaded fork?
Threaded forks necessitate that the threads on the steerer only use the top 1–2 inches, therefore the forks are sold in varying lengths. If there is a need to use a fork that is too long, meaning the fork steerer is not threaded down far enough, a bicycle mechanic can use a die to extend the threads.
What are the different sizes of threaded headset?
There are five fairly common threaded headset sizes: ISO, Italian, French, JIS, and BMX. ISO is by far the most common size and is used on virtually every modern bike with a 1″ steerer. The steerer inside diameter (ID) is 22.2mm. The pressed race ID is 30.2mm (that’s the inside of the head tube).
Where are the bearings on a threaded headset?
Threaded headsets consist of four bearing races, two sets of bearings, spacers and a locknut. Two bearings races are called cups and are pressed into the head tube. Generally, the more massive looking head tube cup is the lower cup of the headset. There will be one race for the fork crown. It is pressed onto the base of the steering column.
