integrated frame and new forks advice
generally very confused around forks, headsets, star nuts etc.
I have an old Cannondale R2000 frame that used ot have an integrated headset. I have long since sold everything but the frame. I am now rebuilding it and a bit unsure exactly what I need.
I know I need 1 1/8th carbon forks and want an alloy steerer (lots around though I want plain black, which is a bit harder to find)
I will need an integrated headset (I actually have the old bearings still)
I will need some spacers
I have a stem
Do I need anything else ? The only thing I think I might need from research is a star nut.
Is there anything I need to look for or avoid? I have seen integrated forks but whilst I am not sure what these are, I am pretty sure I dont need them (is that right)?
Thanks in advance
