Threaded headset explained & installed guide for 1 inch 1 1/8 1 1/4

Thought this would be a 5 minute video that ended up being 20. Threaded headset explained with installation. Guide to sizing, stack height, crown race etc. Basically what I know on the subject. Please share any other info.

You´re awesome man. This is info is gold for those who we like restore bikes. My friend, thank you so much for taking the time to make this.

Mate thanks for your great tutorial vid I was dumbfounded on why I couldn't get my replacement headset set up correctly. Your vid helped. The stack height was the issue and now with the right stack height it's fantastic. Thanks

Very good info on classic bicycle headsets. I have a couple of 1990s CroMo frames to restore. This video will definitely helped. Thank you so much.

Thanks for the explanation, I've just acquired a frame with a 1 1/4 steerer and I am on a learning journey

i have to crank the volume up to 80 to hear anything, might try to increase the gain on your mic pls 🙏, love your content btw :D

Yeh I know, I’ve been dealing with this from the beginning. Before I upload, it sounds pretty loud. TH-cam then normalizes the sound to -14lufs. Lowering the overall volume. It’s due to sudden sounds such as hitting a object with a hammer. 2nd issue, volume appears to be lower/higher, depending on the device someone is using. I’ve tested this on various devices (android, iphone, ipad etc)

Any idea if crown race from an early 90's raleigh usa beach cruiser is the same as a nottingham raleigh 25.4

[@atboy4342]

Crown race inside diameter? For threaded 1 inch steerers, older raleigh’s had 27mm crown race inside diameter (only those made in the UK). 90’s USA Raleigh’s, were probably made in Asia , likely using JIS (also 27) or Standard 26.4. Probably best to measure.
