Whats a good headset for a replacement and until i get my threadless setup im gonna be using threaded stock forks so how do i make threadless headsets work with threaded forks? (Im new to the threaded/threadless headset thing so give me a break )

It is perfectly possible to run a threadless headset on threaded forks. But you want a headset with steel cups, not aluminum, so that the threads on the fork don't fuck up your headset. So a Cane Creek S3, FSA Orbit MX, etc, are out of the question. Get a Cane Creek S1. You don't need to do any mods, just install the headset normally.

I don't even know what that is honestly. Just saying though, you can never go wrong with the classic S1. And it's like 30 bucks.

or a 10 will be fine just any threadless headset like cane creeks will do and you can almost never go wrong with cane creek. i have a s1 and its still really nice speaking it was the lowest model and i think its from me messing it up, go with the 10

Get a district pro sealed headset off of No Limit scooters. I love mine, and it's cheapish.

Then just use the top nut that comes with threaded forks to push the top cap of the district headset down. Easy
