Good looking headset

ProsWell made. Shiny.

Ordered this to replace an old headset on my nearly 40 year old steel touring frame. While I have not fitted it yet, the headset looks very well made, highly polished and the bearing turn very smoothly. The item arrived quite quickly, considering my location in Orkney.

In the 80s and 90s these were fitted as standard by many famous frame builders. I remember all the Mercians in my local bike store in Cambridge (Howes) came with Tange Levin headsets. These headsets last a long time, are well sealed from water and dirt and because they have bearing races can be easily dismantled and cleaned and re greased. These have ground high precision bearing races. I've never thought there is any difference in quality between these and a Campagnolo Record headset, made by that company in its heyday. Great choice for a steel frame restoration of course.

Repeat buy.

ProsWorks well, looks good, reasonable price.

Fitted one of these before. Last time I mixed up the bits but SJS sent me a brilliant photo to get the seals in order, What service! You can never have too much chrome.

ProsQuality, finish.and price.

Well made with a good chrome finish means that it did not mark when tightening or adjusting as poorer quality ones do.

Fast shipping, usual excellent SJS value and service.

Would this fit my 1989 Marin Bear Valley, currently has a Shimano LX sealed headset?

By Patrick Harrison

23 Sep 2020

Would this fit my 1989 Marin Bear Valley which currently has a Shimano LX sealed headset and the plastic top cover has cracked. Thanks Pat

SJS Customer Service:

Hello, We cannot confirm if this will fit your bike as we are not a Marin Stockist- therefor cannot guarantee what fittings your frame was manufactured with. We suggest contacting Marin directly to find out what the OEM headset was for your bike.

Would this fit a Dawes super galaxy (2003-4 model)

By Stefan

03 May 2020

I am very interested in this to fit to my Dawes Super Galaxy. But would like to know how available a replacement bearing unit is if needed. The headset fitted at present is a shimano LX with a BC1 inch bearing which know seams totally unavailable to purchase. Any advice as to whether this unit or any other will fit would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance Stefan

SJS Customer Service:

This will fit your bike, the Shimano headset you have has a stack height of 37.6mm, this headset is 33.3mm so you'll need to fit an extra spacer(s) such as Headset Spacer - 1 Inch - Alloy - Silver (22313) replacement ball cages are not available but these headsets can be assembled using loose balls.

What are the stack heights of the individual parts?

By kurt

22 Jan 2018

Hi there,

This is a copy of the Record headset, we have not tested whether the crown races are compatible with Chorus.

Thanks

Is this suitable for a 1980 Holdsworth Mistral frame please?

By Brian

08 Oct 2017

SJS Customer Service:

Hi,

Unfortunately as we have never sold your frame we have now way of knowing if this headset is suitable or not. You're going to need to measure that your frame's head tube has an internal diameter of 30.2mm to accept the cups and the crown race seat on your forks is 26.4mm to accept the crown race.

Thanks.

Does This Headset Only Come With An Iso 26.4Mm Or Crown Race, Or Does It Have A Jis 27Mm Race Too?

By Matthew

02 Feb 2017

SJS Customer Service:

Hi,

Most of our headsets including this one come with only an ISO 26.4mm crown race. The only headset we stock with a JIS 27.0mm crown race is the M:Part Elite which is SJSC part number 33893.

Thanks.
