Italian Headset to NIS fork. No problem?

I managed to snatch up a nice Dura-Ace NJS headset from ebay but just found out it has italian threading.

I know Sheldon says that a italian threaded headset should work fine with a ISO fork but I'm just wondering if anyone has had any first hand experience with this.

Should I do it or not?

Doubt itll be too much of an issue. If youre going to take it to a shop to get it fitted just double check with the mechanic.

Thanks mate. My frame is coming in soon. I'll take it to the shop and see what the mechanic says.

Should be fine unles you plan on undoing and doing up the headset a lot, which will eventually screw the threads on your fork.

I'm using a Tange headset on a italian frame / fork no problems.

Not really an issue.

Enjoy the new frameset and ride it to death.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
