That's it, really: can a bike like a Zaskar with a 1 and 1/8" threaded headset take a modern threadless of the same size instead? (I don't want to do this - I've just been reading up on headsets and can't find the answer..)
Headset compatibility - replace threaded with threadless?

The headset just fits in the frame to whatever spec it machined to. Ahead came out at about the same time 1-1/8" came out way back turn of the 90's (91/92).
The problem is the fork needs a different style steerer (longer and smoother) and you need s different stem.

Sorry - I should have said that (even) I knew the forks are thread or unthreaded. Just. That's a nagging question answered. Thanks!

I upgraded my Trek back in the late 90s when the headset wore out had to buy a new steerer headset and stem, some Easton carbon bars caught my eye in the LBS too in the end cost me best part of £250, all of the parts are still in use today though even if they are now split between 3 bikes!

The Zaskar was one of the first production bikes released with an aheadset. I eventually fitted GT ahead forks to mine in place of the ahead rockshox MAG21
