Vintage Schwinn Conversion Headset, Use Your 1 1/8” Fork With 1” Head tube Frame. This will fit old school BMX frames too, but again please measure before ordering!
The color is anodized Silver. Other colors are available, please specify Silver, Gold, Black, Red, Blue ( Green is out of stock, sorry).
I try to keep all in stock, but please have a second choice just in case.
Use of this item requires some experience and technical skills. Please do not purchase if you are not an experienced bicycle mechanic.
This is a conversion headset for vintage Schwinn frames made from 1950 to 1980. It is machined to fit what is known as a 1” steer tube, actual machined diameter of the headset is 32.7 mm, or 1.287”. This will allow a normal press fit, and matches the original size Schwinn steel cup dimensions.
This is a modern sealed bearing headset. The bearings are a standard size and everything is here, including the crown race, star nut, and top cap.
Please note this will not fit modern road bikes, which use a smaller size 30.2mm, always measure first!
The conversion headset is perfect for your Rat Rod, Klunker, BMX, or Cruiser. When you convert your old Schwinn to 1 1/8" threadless, you can use all kinds of modern forks, stems, and handlebars. This can be a big improvement in function and style.
Installation requires a headset press. There are no returns for parts which have been installed.
See my other auctions for more headset colors, see the last photo for examples. Also many other cycling items!
I will answer all questions. Please ask questions before bidding, thanks!
I use all recycled/rescued packaging and materials. Your order will be packaged carefully to arrive in perfect condition.
