Hey Scrod, I know you can get standard headsets that will convert a 1 1/8" to fit a 1" fork but is there anyway to convert an integrated 1 1/8" headset to fit a 1" fork? I'm wanting to fit a 1" fork on my volume cutter. Also what do you think of the volume cutter Scrod?

What version of this stem will make it so it's parallel to the ground with my leader 725, i know that the leaer 725's headtube angle is 74, but I cant figure out how to calculate the stem angle.

Should I leave these risers hilariously wide, or cut them down? Do they get cut just like normal alloy risers?

If you cut them, use a fine-tooth hacksaw blade so you don't splinter the carbon wrap.

'nother pro tip: Put a piece of masking tape over the cut before you go to town on it. Will also prevent splintering.

Dang, now I'm scared of them all. Can't remember if Deores are ferrous or not, though.

I plan on getting the Leader I05TR Carbon/Aluminum and I would like to use the FSA ZS-3 Headest in carbon. I know that if i use a carbon steerer tube i do need a carbon version of the FSA, but if i use aluminum, would it be fine with the carbon version of the FSA?

Is the Gran Compe Shot lever better for the "choking the stem" hand position, (for my B123s), or is the difference insignificant compared to Dirty Harrys? I was just wondering if the smaller clamp really made a difference. I'll be positioning the lever directly next to the stem.

The 1 1/8" compression plug doesn't fit inside some thicker aluminum steerer tubes. Why not just use the regular ZS-3?
