Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

I need to get a headset for my keirin Presto frame. Scrolling through Businesscycles website I see all the standard threaded and threadless headsets and finally the hatta. The hatta states it is for 1" threaded and JIS fork crown race seats. A friend told me that covers 'all' keirin frames. Is this true? Whats the proper method for measurement?

Thanks!
Jon
