Hi all.
I'm after the final piece of the parts Jigsaw needed to complete my XC pro/ Off road Pro-flex build.
I've missed out on 3 NOS ones now - either wasn't quick enough on the bids or the shop stock inventory didn't match what they'd sold.
This is obviously a hard to find part so I'm prepared to pay good money for NOS / VGC
(The current eBay used one is a bit battered for my needs)

I also have a VGC 35.0mm XC pro front mech
or an XC pro brake set (SE rear/ normal front) for trades if preferred.

Here's a pic. MUST BE A 1" SIZE!!

You probably won't run into this problem de facto, but you know there are variations on the 1" headset right?

Thanks @DoctorRad
I was unaware of that.... thanks for bringing it to my attention!
The lower of the steerer on my True Temper forks measures 26.4mm so I take it I need the English/Italian type?
Apart from 0.6mm of play in the JIS lower cone, would there be any other disadvantages in using this with my fork? Both options are 24 TPi....and 0.2mm on the upper is marginal. The frame is 1990.

Cheers for the specs. That's a helpful guide.

I've never actually used either variant of the 1" headset, only the 1-1/8" of which I have a couple. I would imagine that if you got a JIS variant, the 0.6mm would be enough to make the crown race (=Lower Cone) loose on the fork crown, but either it could be shimmed with foil and/or it will matter little once the headset is tightened... trying to work out in my head if it would cause the headset to loosen in use, though.

The other way around… well, according to Sheldon Brown, JIS crowns can be milled to the ISO standard, but I think it would be better to get the crown race milled out personally…
