Ok, not sure where else to ask this question. I want to put a carbon fork on my surly midnight special. the fork has an integrated headset crown race with a 36 degree contact angle bearing.
The bike currently has a Gusset headset which I don't really want to replace, but it seems impossible to find out that the angle contact is for my current headset, everything I've found seems to refer to the outside angle of the headset (45 degrees)
Can I assume that all headset have a 36degree contact ? this is bikes after all where there are no standards.
