im looking into buying this headset http://cgi.ebay.com.au/FSA-Pig-DH-P...sure_cycling_bikeparts_SR?hash=item439ce4c509

Im a total noob to the updated headset thing, im just wondering if i get this headset, do i need threadless forks? do i need a compression system or whatever its called? please try to explain in as much detail as possible.
thanks heaps guys

ok i have the same headset and i run threaded forks so yes its possible.
Heres how on your forks now there will be two lock nuts one will have a dust cover over it you wont need that so put i away for spare parts, Now you have just the one locknut that is what you use. you put the threadless headset on and everything but the top cap(the thing that has a starnut and an alan key bolt) . After the dust cover that says fsa on it is on, You tighten it all up with the one locknut from your threaded headset.
Hope i helped and you understand.

im riding an unsealed 1 of them fine u need 2 make sure u ride a lock nut facing normally and another facing up and tighten it so the headset doesnt wobble keep trying till u get it right but dont quote me on it ive only had mine 4 a week and im not 100% sure bout how long its gonna last... but its proberally safer 2 go 2 a bike shopfirst and ask first and mention that your gonna put a locknut of instead of compression and see what they say

any 1 1/8" standard threadless headset will fork with any threaded or threadless fork.
