Hi, I was wondering if anyone has a recommendation for a 1" threadless
headset to replace a threaded one I have on my commuter fixie. The
Seattle rain has started rusting/pitting out the bottom race, and I am
replacing the threaded fork with a threadless anyway, so it seems like
a good time to do it.
I would like something that has a great seal. I do not care about
weight, and hate replacing headsets so would like it to be as
indestructible as possible. But it seems silly to pay $100 for a
headset for my commuter bike.
I look forward to any suggestions.
A somewhat related question: I have never used a front fender, as the
water projecting from the front tire never bothered me. But it seems
like that jet of water can't be good for the bottom headset race, which
is the one carrying most of the load. Thoughts on this?
If it seems like my questions revolve around rain, maybe it's becase
today was the 26th straight day of it here.
Thanks in advance,
Harrison
