I am currently refurbing a lovely Orange CR 16r and having to replace a few parts. The Original forks I want to keep along with the threaded headset, but the original is shot, as salt water has got in at some point, rest of the bike is virtually like new. I have now tried three different headsets, two Stronglight and a Shimano XT and none of the top races will screw down over the forks threads. The original spins down freely, the others bind after 1 and a half or so turns. The threads are not damaged, It feels as though the threads are a different pitch. Does anyone know if Orange dye'd their forks with a continental screw pitched thread? This is really winding me up and I do not want to resort to changing the forks to Ahead style or a headset converter.
