Hi im new here so please dont bite lol
Ive recently purchased a carrera kraken frame and it uses an intergrated headset :?
now i havent a clue as my old bike has a normal run of the mill a-head.
So i was just wondering what headset would go into it ie makes and models.
Your help is much appreciated

    ok first i would have a look at parktools as it explains the difference between the different headsets.

    i am not certain the the Krakens does have an intergrated headset.

    Sonic will tell you which it has.

    there tends to be confusion between the integreated and the Zero stack types.

    There is a possibilty that the very new ones have changed - the older ones used a zerostack internal headset. This means it utilises shallow cups pressed into the frame. I am sure the newer ones are the same too. As nick says, have a look at park for the differences.
