    I have the same query. My raleigh has a Shimano 600 headset. Does that mean it is 26 or 24 TPI on the steerer tube?

    I am going to do a paintjob on my 1988 Raleigh Record Ace. It is a 64cm (old measurements) frame and I have every intention of keeping it as long as I can.
    Now, I would like to replace the aging Shimano 600 headset (the bloke who had it before me had the wrong sized bearings in it and made a bit of a mess of it) but am concerned about the entire Raleigh 26TPI Thread on the steerer tube thing. If i look at it logically, Shimano would not have done a special run just for the Raleigh stuff but I just want to check to make sure that a normal 1" ISO headset will fit.
    Thanks
