Headset question
I'm getting ready to order a 1 1/8" threadless headset online but I'm not sure about compatability. My frame has a 34mm cup size and the fork has a 30mm crown race. Are these universal among 1 1/8" headsets or do you have to match a particular headset to the frame? The headset I'm looking at is linked but it doesn't list any specifics beyond being 1 1/8".

Here's the data on the one you are looking at:

I can't say if those dimensions are universal or not.
Good luck!

Unlike 1" where there are multiple standards, there is only one standard (30/34mm) for 1-1/8" press-in headsets. So any brand or model will work.
