Headset Help.

Dawesy92

Right im looking into stripling my bike down soon.. dont have the time till I come back off holiday but want to get a new headset before I go away.. problem is that the frame had the headset in when I brought it a good few years back so I dont know what size I need.. its an Iron Horse Warrior 3.0 from 2008 only info ive managed to find is that it was a cane creek one as standard.. does anyone know how I can find the sizes without taking it out yet as I use it as a commute bike too so I cant strip it down yet.. hope someone can help me :-)

From what I can work out the one in now is an FSA orbit I think....

Thanks in advance!!!

ID it in the FAQs here or on the cane creek website

You need a 1 1/18th zero stack headset for that bike, although doesn't have to be FSA or Cane Creek.

Orbits are good though, I've used a few over the years with no issues and minimal maintenance.

See here if you need to know what others parts your bike came with:

I can't find any info online about the Warrioir using semi-integrated, just it being zero stack.

So yours just saying this should fit it?

I see no reason why it shouldn't but you can get it cheaper here:

Can you take a photo of the one currently installed?

Is it any of these?

You should be able to see the model number or code without removing anything.

I don't want you going spending any £££ without being 100%!

Yeah this is the one.. http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/fsa- ... -prod15888

im not good with this as i didnt fit it haha!!
so you think the cane creek will fit?

CitizenLee

It should, but I'd be inclined to buy another FSA Orbit.

As I said, I've used them in a few builds and they've been great (the standard MX version).

Cheaper too so more beer tokens

Haha, i guess, will see how time sets out

Cheers for your help though!
