- To know what size headset you need for your bicycle frame there are two ways to measure. This video shows you how to measure your frame with the headset cups taken off the frame. With the headset cups off your frame you can measure the inner diameter of the frame's head tube, the standard size inner diameter is 1 1/4".
Thanks for posting this because you've helped me figure out which headset to buy for a bike I'm building from scratch and it's my first time building a bike.
thanks for posting, im looking at how to upgrade my beach cruiser with some rockshox but i wasnt sure if i needed new cups though
I wish I'd read the comments before watching this video. I need to replace the headset on my 1983 Jamis Boss Cruiser. As a first time diy project I need accurate information on the sizing of the headset replacement. Idk, maybe back in 1983 one and a quarter inch was standard sizing?
I think those kind of measurements should be done with a calliper instead of ruler....
The most popular sizes are 1 1/8" and 1.5"; a 1" steerer is rare and the headsets are rarer.
I do agree however that 1 1/4" is not a common size at all!
Otherwise, great advice!

How about explaining the difference or a regular headset, and integrated?
definitely, i have a caliper that went missing, sometimes if a ruler is all you have, it'll do just fine.
Sir. Wht kind of headset are fit with may bmx haro. The standard size was not fit.. Wht headset cam i buy
I can’t seem to get a hold of these guys are they still around
You got it, you will need your tapered fork measurements as well as the frame and headset measurements to match.
this is old but i have a 26 inch mtb the head on the frame is 32 mm where can i get a head set that size
Nice chrome Gt Performer. I'm making a Black performer. just got the frame back from Powder Coating. Do you have a 80s slant cut GT performer frame for sale?
Do you guys know about Verneer caliper? It’s easier and fiairly accurate when measuring
I plan on buying a macargi puma fame. Do you know what size headset I would need to purchase?
Sir.. Ano ang tamang headset ng bmx haro di ko mahanap at di kasya ang standard.
you need to buy a caliper to be more precise over a ruler....they are cheap if you buy it from Harbor Freight....but Mitutoyo or a Starrett would be best if you can afford it.
I agree that crappy plastic isn't accurate I'd at least use my stainlees ruler but I have a Caliper
Ive been watching you videos I have got a beach cruser fram and tripple tree forks I have seen videos of them being installed but didnt get any bearing cups or anythign with it and I need to know were to buy them do you know any websides or what to look for thanks.
was anybody else bothered by the guy placing the ruler EVER SO SLIGHTLY off? lol
Yes mate, done my head in haha
GUY.. can not afford a decent caliper... ??
Hi I'm a little bit confused. my headtube bike size is 33mm but when checking online for headsets there is nothing for 33mm.
Looking forward for you answer or help.
have you found aleady?
those measurements are off you're measuring OD saying it's ID one time you measured 1/2 od and1/2 ID I got so confused watching this Man use a caliper
1 1/4 is NOT a standard headtube size, and hasn't been used on bikes since the early 90's. The most common sizes are 1 1/8" and 1". The outer diameter of the headset cup and the inner diameter of the headtube should be the same for proper fitting, and I would suggest using a nice pair of calipers instead of a ruler when measuring.
I agree. 11/4" and 11/2 are serious downhill systems OR aluminum framed bikes, take your choice. I have 11/8" threaded and I have a HELL of a time getting parts that are correct for it. The frame tube ID id is dead on 1.125".
why don't you use some vernier calipers.....! This will make you look like a pro
Which one is for the 26 inch
I don't understand why the measurements aren't given in metric measurements. I can't wrap my head around 5 16 of anything but I do get 38 mm. I am sure the bike manufacturers don't think in fractions and most likely never did. Using both imperial and metric is not efficient nor practical.
"Using both imperial and metric is not efficient nor practical".
That is not a true statement! Neither one system is more accurate than the other. It has to do with the engineering requirements and the dimensioning; and the applied tolerances but mostly where the parts a manufactured.
By the way it’s a bike not the space shuttle.
To get the metric dimension multiply the standard dimension by .039. It's just simple math. How hard is that?
Use your brain!!
Measure the inner diameter because that is where the headset cups will need to fit in. Then look for a headset outer diameter that is equal to frame inner diameter. Make sense?
I can not find a 1 1/4 threaded headset anywhere for the life of me. Do you know anywhere I can look?
Mine is measuring to 1 and 1/2 inches.. I don't know what to buy
Thanks for the info, i'm hearing some conflicted information from this video and what the manufacturer of my bike told me. I bought a KHS Flite 100 without a headset and I measured the inner diameter of the tube and it says its 1 3/16" but when I emailed KHS they told me they use a 1" Cane Creek headset. Can you shed some light on this for me?
I'm having this same problem. Mine measures 1 3/16. What size bearing did you go with?
Wild
I dont care if you use a ruler but at least use one that is all there. We cant see exactly where hes starting the measurement from because its missing.
are most peugeots french?
My bottom cup O.D = 1 1/8" what size headset do i need for a replacement?
BTW, please title the email you send "HeadSets" cause they send it to junk for unknown contacts.
What size bike is this?
I'll send you some vernier calipers for christmas.
are most peugeot's french?
1 1/8"
what type of bikes fit a 1.5 fork ? 29'ers or Dj bikes ?
My head tube is dead on 11/8" (threaded, but EVERY DAMN TIME I order a bearing they SCREW ME with the wrong damned parts. So SICK OF IT!
spencer marshall I need a 1 1/18 and ima check in the morning if I do lol
Use a digital caliper....this is not the tool to be explaining this......

"Use a digital caliper....this is not the tool to be explaining this......"
Gotta second that.
I'm not sure if you see my e-mail address, but if you can, please contact me for any suggestions, or if this needs clarifying. I hope to hear from you, thanks.
Why not just use millimetres? 🙄🙄
your measurements are way off you are measuring the id (interneal diameter) from the outside and the most common size of head set is 1 1/8 inch its just you measurement are crap. i find it easier to measure the stearer tube of the fork to get a more accurete result.
Ur forgetting about the washer tho, so the correct measurement would be that of the inner steerer tube routing because it’s the washer that goes around the actual steerer tube and presses the bearing up against the side walls so getting a bearing measured for the steerer is just wrong.
