What's new at sheldonbrown.com
Our tables of headset sizes have been reorganized to make it easier to determine which headset can be made to fit which frame and fork. Fork crown race seats can be milled down and head tube race seats can be enlarged. The tables now are in order of head tube race seat size, as the frame is the more difficult and expensive to replace, followed by fork crown race seat size. The tables are used in the article on headsets and several other articles.
You can use a threadless headset with the Twenty’s threaded front fork! http://sheldonbrown.com/raleigh-twenty.html
Additions to the page on Raleigh Twenty bicycles — more detail on bottom-bracket replacements, headsets, brakes, handlebars. This page gives specific ideas about customizing the Twenty, and highlights Sheldon’s do-it-yourself approach in general, taking advantage of the strong points (in this case, the frame) of a run-of-the mill bicycle to upgrade it into a one that performs, and looks great too.
Major additions to our article about handlebar stem choice and adjustment.
This glossary page had a very long entry for headsets, information recently updated and expanded in a separate article. I shortened the glossary entry to get it out of the Department of Redundancy Department (one of Sheldon’s favorite quips) and to take one small step in making the site easier to manage.There are several other such long entries in the glossary.
