Hi,
I recently bought a repainted steel Scapin road frame and i have a problem with the headset, i can't find one in my hometown. People here don't really know specifics about parts especially the ones that are not standars NOT ISO (i.e. BB dimensions, headset dimensions, stem dimensions) and can't tell me what headset i need. Having this for guidance http://www.sheldonbrown.com/cribsheet-headsets.html i measured the diameter where the crown race sits and its 26.4 , 26.5 (measured many times). The crown race must have a smaller diameter in order to sit snugg on the fork right? I went to every LBS and every crown race is bigger in diameter and moves on the fork.Opinions?
Today or probably tomorow i will measure everything and post here the measurements.
