Close!

Had to grind out crown race from 26.4 to 26.5 but, after that, great results. I am using VO headsets on several bikes and am happy with them, and a nice finish.

Would've worked maybe ?

I intended to install on a Gitane Interclub. The milled seat on this bike's fork is very short and it won't engage the 26.4 ID of the crown race. The race has nearly half of the finished 26.4 diameter taken up by a ridiculously wide lead created by an embossing punch and die pressed manufacture.

Hey Jay,

Sorry to hear about the trouble with the headset, can you send any pics over so we can check them out?

Too tall

Too tall a stack for my Gitane Tour de France

FRENCH THREAD HEADSET

I HAVEN'T INSTALLED IT YET. I HAVE USED SEVERAL OF THESE AND THEY WORK WELL. MY ONLY COMPLAINT IS THAT THE STACK HEIGHT WAS A LITTLE TOO MUCH FOR A PEUGEOT UO-8, HAD TO TRIM AND REFACE THE HEAD TUBE TO GET THE HEADSET THREADS TO HOLD.

THANKS.

Just the right bit to get those vintage French bikes back on the road....

,,.because we all know vintage French bikes are almost guaranteed to 'plane'!
Works as claimed, a bargain but make sure the stack ht work with the fork length first.
Would be even better if it gets sealed bearings, but not a big deal.
