Sorry for the silly question - you can tell my bike does not have an integrated headset...
I've just been looking at an advertisement for the ITM Millenium Fork, and note it is described as "for integrated headset". I've never looked closely at integrated headsets ('cause that'd mean I'm looking at a new frame - ouch, no budget for that), but had assumed that the only difference was that the upper and lower bearing cups were part of the steerer tube, as compared to separate headset components. If so, then any A-Head fork of the correct steerer diameter would fit either integrated or conventional A-Head headsets. Am I wrong? Does an integrated headset require a fork designed for it? Is there (for example) no bearing race mounted at the bottom of the steerer?
Thanks for the clarification. I know I should just pop down to my LBS and ask, but I'm tied to the desk.
