Headset for 2009 Giant XTC

rockmonkeysc

I need a new headset to fit a 2009 Giant XTC.

Nothing fancy and nice and cheap. It's an integrated 1 1/8" headset.
Would this one fit? http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Mode ... delID=6183

the giant link doesn't give details - what does the ID on the frame headtube measure?

Not got it with me. Is there more than one size for integrated head sets?

The Rookie

Yes.....and there is also semi integrated which is a totally different standard is also sometimes called integrated.

That picture (and the age) suggests (but no more) a semi integrated which that link to CRC is not.

Maybe I will just take it to my friendly local shop and get them to press something in.

I'd guess at an integral (also called, semi-integrated, or zero stack) - they're more common. That's 44mm I.D. In which case, something like http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Mode ... elID=39377

If it's 41mm, it's an integrated, and the one you've linked is gravy

Gravy? Is that good or bad?

The Rookie

I am informed by my teenage son that gravy means good.
