Particularly my On One Scandal.

Is this possible.?

The bearings are shot on my Scandal so I need a new headset in the near future. What are my chances of slackening the geo a bit at the same time.?

Any advice appreciated.

Works components do a 1&1/8 angleset

Not cheap though

I have one of these and on the bike it's on I like it. Anecdotally the bearings don't last particularly well.

I fitted the WC linked up there to my 5 spot and the one degree made a difference I'd say.

Fitted a 1 degree one to my BFe when On One were doing rebranded Works ones. Definitely made a difference for the better. Think Works do a 2 degree one now?

Not for conventional 1"1/8 head tube but yes for a 44mm head tube.

I fitted one of those works components ones to an old Marin a few years ago. Did what it said on the tin

So I'm checking out the Superstar option.. I need a minimum of EC44 tube it seems like Granny and Poah said. Does that mean that my 1.1/8 headtube is not compatible?

Guess I need to measure the internal of the headtube.. Anyone know what aScandal V2 26" 1/18 HT is internally, before I dismantle it all. ?

Or the Works one but yeah, its pretty steep price wise..
