Hi all,
Because the Manitou in my KLEIN has play in it (upper/lower stanchions) I was gonna swap it for a Rock Shox RS-1 fork.
Both forks should be 1" (as is the head tube of my Rascal). The Manitou was mounted in the frame with a 1" Dia Compe ahead headset. The RS-1 is threaded but also supposedly 1" because I can get a 1" Mission Control stem/bar into the steerer.
Weird thing is: when I was about to change the headset race, it just falls loosely over the RS-1's steerer. And even though it has an extra crown race (like a SwitchBlades has), it still falls right over it and there is play in it (as if you put a 1.1/8" race over a 1" fork crown).
So uhm... is there any difference between 1" headsets? Is there anything special I have to take into account when I go look for a 1" threaded headset for my RS-1/Rascal?? The RS-1 is completely original, so no different crown or steerer or something.
Any of you guys have an idea or advice? Would appreciate it, thanx!
