Specialized Langster replacement headset

Posted on
  • Hi all, can anyone help me? What replacement headset do I need for my Specialized Langster frame circa 2007

    Thanks

  • Hello, which langster frame do you have steel or aluminium?

    If aluminium, there is a thread on here about the recessed specialized only head set.

  • Hi. It’s an alloy one. Can you send me a link please. Thanks

  • No, I can't be fucked to use the search function and type in langster headset as much as you can't be fucked to type that in to the search either.

  • As I’m waiting for the washing machine to finish.
    I think this is what I did, way back in the mists of time.
    Buy an IS2 41mm headset ( https://bankruptbikeparts.co.uk/products/fsa-is-2-orbit-drop-in-headset-41mm-bearing-1-1-8-steerer-speedmax-etc ) would do,
    Strip the old headset out of the frame, you’ll need a biggish hammer and a flat blade screwdriver for this,
    Remove crown race from fork,
    Fit crown race to fork,
    Pop bearings in frame,
    Drop on top race,
    Put a 3mm spacer on top,
    Place top cap on,
    Refit spacers, stem etc,
    Ride away.
    This reminds me I need to do the same to my old indexed headset on my SWorks.

  • Did you get that from the search?

    Maybe look up planet X instead..The selcof one is 10.99 plus postage

  • I’ve got it written down on a luggage tag tied to the bag of bits for the SWorks. I’m sure when I did the langster one I got the how to from one of those links though :)
    The headset link was the just first hit on Google, will checkout PX ta.
    Edit: I’ve also circled 41!! In red pen, so I’m guessing I got the wrong one at some stage :D
