simple question about bicycle headsets,
Hey everyone,
.. like the title says, just a simple question:
Whats the most common size for bicycle headsets?
(in diameter, like 1 1/8 inch)
.. and for that most used size, what are the corresponding headtube and steer tube diamters?
Thanks for all replies!
cheers,
Fabian
P.S. I hope is post is understandable, my mother language is german

It's hard to say but for most modern road bikes with threadless headsets, they will generally be 1 1/8". With older steel bikes with threaded headsets and quill stems, it would generally be 1".

Yes, but the steerer tube diameter at the base where the crown race fits will be 30mm. The crib sheet I linked you to gives you the data you need, subject to rounding errors when converting imperial to metric dimensions.
