I just picked up a fuji frame off of the big nashbar sale, and was planning on removing my integrated headset from my current brandless frame. However... i cant get it out using the screwdriver/hammer method, and it appears as if it wouldn't fit the FTP anyways. SO. Can anyone link me to a headset that would fit the FTP? Also-- would i need any special tools?

Thanks in advance.

First of all, you wouldn't need a "screwdriver and hammer" to remove an integrated headset, as there are no cups and the bearings sit directly in angular contacts inside the head tube.

Like the one saying "Why does my seatpost keep slipping down on the seat mast?"

kiwashere

wait... so i was just kind of told by someone that my headset was integrated. A little research showed it was threadless. Im using an IRD techno-glide headset. Every other threadless headset Ive had just comes off. How-come this headset is attached to the headtube? Sorry... I've kinda only dealt with threaded and "simple" threadless headsets in the past.

A Techno Glide is a standard 1 1/8" threadless headset with cups that get inserted into the frame and bearings that sit inside the cups. Integrated headsets - while still typically 1 1/8" - have no cups. You'll need to buy an integrated headset for your Fuji.

Cool. Thank you.
Now question #2! Integrated headsets come in different sizes, so how can I figure out what size the fuji needs. I don't see a listing for specs anywhere on the site.

Scrodzilla

I was just trying to look for that info too. Hopefully someone will chime in that can answer that.

I think they use the Cane Creek size(41.0mm insertion).

Scrodzilla

I think so too but I'm not 100% certain.

just buy 17 different headsets, I'm sure one might work

kiwashere

Probably.

The shop where I work is a Fuji dealer. If someone doesn't chime in, I'll try to find out which headset you'll need on Monday.

kiwashere

Thanks scrod! I really appreciate it.

any update on that headset size?

kiwashere

I went to my LBS and had them order one from the catalog... It took the dude about half an hour of searching before he found one that he thought would work. I didn't write down the specific model, but i know it was a cane creek tall stack one like this.

I spoke with two people at ASI (Fuji) yesterday and all I got was a series of roundabout answers. I hope you got the right type!

kiwashere

Thats the great thing about a LBS... the ability to complain if they sold you the wrong product

kiwashere

Cane Creek IS41 should do it. I installed mine and it looks tight and smooth... though i still need to PVC pipe my crown race onto my fork.

plowmanjoe

awesome, thanks. how much did it cost you from your lbs?

kiwashere

It was labeled 50 bucks but they only charged me 46. Seems to be cheaper online

Can anyone confirm the headset size?

cc700

Thisss biggggg (41 cane creek. i can't confirm it because i haven't installed one but that's what it measures.)

just took a pair of calipers to a FTP I got from the sale. Looks to be campy spec (42 OD).

stevesbike

confirmed the Italian standard with Cane Creek headset finder. Models that would work from cane creek are their 40 series. The 40.IS42 short or tall depending on preferred stack
