GT Zaskar Team need know BB and headset sizes
- Thread starter Will Evans
- Start date
Headset is a standard 1 1/8 external cup type. You could try and find the missing bearing cages but probably easier to buy a new headset (though best to use the correct tools to remove old and fit new).
BB size will be defined by 2 things:
BB shell width (68 or 73mm)
Axle length for the cranks you intend to use.
If you go down the square taper or hollow tech 1 BB route, the above applies. If you go ht 2 (external cup BB), then any will fit, you just use spacers as needed. Axle is attached to cranks.
For year, the zaskar serial number will tell you. It usually has a month and year in it, plus the frame number.

Did zaskar of that era come with standard headset sort of frame fitted ?
Is that how it worked like an invisible headset effect ?
It’s a 2005 model. Might be better in the 98+ forum for correct answers
They ran intergrated headsets usually by cane creek. Likely 45 x36 bearings.

Oh sorry I'm always in the wrong ( place )
Thanks for 2005 info.
And the bearing sizes sound about right
