- 1" threadless headset
Yes. All of the above is correct.
The head tube on the old mtb was definitely 1". The bike is still at the shop in pieces waiting for a more experienced mechanic to look at it, and I do not know what brand of headset was on there. Thank you for the detailed info, now I will know what they are talking about when I talke to them on Tuesday. I am mechanically inclined (cars, houses, etc.), just not on bikes yet but I am getting there.
