Anyone tried to change the headset (and fork) on these?
False brinelling means I'm going to need a new headset pretty soon. I remember when I changed the forks over that, as well as the odd threading, the new headset races wouldn't fit the headtube, so I carried on using the old headtube races along with the rest of the new headset (perhaps the source of my brinelling).
I very much doubt I'll ever find a matching headset; Sheldon only lists a few oversized cups and none seem to match (though I have no calipers here). Maybe I should just shim it, it's only a beater after all.
