French country roads are even tough for some cars, I survived, had a great culinary adventure, and a Great French 100% bike. Riding skills mater MBT jumps not required.

[@recyclespinning9839]

I actually like the old design. The nut is what locks your adjustment secure on the old design . The threadless rely on the stem to lock your adjustment.

[@JJPELLC]

Innicycle is a hybrid of sorts. The threaded nut is eliminated but you still have a threaded upper race. The bearing preload is locked by the quill because the quill and upper race are fixed together. The threaded upper race carries all of the bearing preload axial load just like it does on a standard threaded headset. The threadless stem plays no role in carrying the bearing preload, same as with a typical threadless adapter. Happy to share more details if you are interested.

[@philippreu7583]

I am interested. Is there stock available in silver?

[@seitenryu6844]

One aspect which is both a benefit and potential safety issue, is that the stem is not retained by a top cap. For some, that's an advantage when traveling(no headset adjustment to make, only loosen stem bolts to remove), but if the bolts come loose while riding, your bars come right off. I suppose it's similar in safety to a quill stem though. Did you use a conical wedge to reduce the possibility of forces potentially loosening the adjustment? I'd expected to see an angled wedge.

[@JJPELLC]

Threadless stems were never designed to be retained by the top cap. The top cap is strictly for setting preload on the bearings and would be an unnecessary feature for an innicycle (though you can still add one for aesthetic purposes). The conical wedge is used to help keep the quill portion concentric with the fork’s steerer tube and ensure smooth bearing rotation. There must necessarily be some gap between the two parts and an angled wedge forces the quill all the way to one side unlike the cone.

While you are not able to change the original top cap, the latest Schwinn headsets allow you to add on a top cap of your choice for aesthetic purposes. Reach out to [e-mail] for more details.

[@JJPELLC]

There are a lot of possible causes. An innicycle may solve the issue, or it may not, depending on what is going on. The most common cause of your scenario is that the quill is inserted too far into the fork placing the wedge in a butted portion of the tube. If that could be the case on yours, try raising the stem 10-20mm and see if that helps.

Is there a minimum spec for the amount of threads on the fork steerer? My work only has about 19mm of threads. Also, my fork has an aluminum steerer. Is this acceptable?

[@8draco8]

The biggest issue I see is the top cup. Top cup should be designed the other way around because in this case it makes extremely easy for water to get into the bearings. Apart from that this conversion is pointless especially for $140. This beautifully engineered and very expensive does the same what $10-$20 threadless converter from Amazon does. I ride 90s MTBs with such converters, sometimes doing stupid things on single tracks and I never had it fail on me, and that's for 1/10th of price of this kit. IMHO if you need the looks go for it but if you only want to put 1 1/8" threadless stem on your old bike, just buy simple adapter, it does the same thing.

[@JJPELLC]

The top cup features a tortuous path design plus both an inner dust seal and sealed cartridge bearings. That’s not to say water can’t get in but it will be anything but ‘extremely easy’. For $125 at www.innicycle.com you get a threadless setup with unrivaled looks, low weight, and robustness plus a fresh, modern headset. It isn’t for every build but there’s no comparable product on the market.

What makes this product more desirable than the cheapie quill to threadless converters?

[@JJPELLC]

The innicycle is for those who want the best looking, lightest, and stiffest way to use a threadless stem with a threaded fork. I have no experience with installing one on a Walmart bike so if you plan to purchase one please take measurements with calipers of the relevant areas (headtube inner diameter, quill diameter, crown race diameter, steerer tube and head tube length) to confirm compatibility.

[@JJPELLC]

@@singletona082 I’m not sure this is the product for you. You mention ‘27.5’. Where are you measuring that diameter? As for finding a 1” replacement fork, the idea with this conversion headset is to allow an original fork (typically matched to the frame in geometry and paint) to continue to be used. When replacement fork is a must, there are more options especially if the end goal is using a threadless stem.

[@singletona082]

@@JJPELLC I'm just thinking ahead to 'when the current parts break's is all. Threadless headsets are more common and give better sizig and positioning options than quill.

I did a similar conversion recently, not with the kit you used as I have never seen that before. I converted a Principia frame with a 1 inch steerer tube to fit carbon forks. The new headset an M Part kit that I ordered, the cups both top and bottom were a little over 1 mm too small, hence were a very loose fit, I tried another different make kit that was the same. I had to shim the cups to make them a secure fit, something I am still unhappy about. Is there more than one bearing cup size for 1 inch steerer tubes? my local bike shops and a cycling forum have come up blank.

To be honest, it sounds like you have a frame designed for a 1 1/8” fork. What is the ID of the headtube? If intended for a 1” fork, it should be 30-30.2mm.

Innicycle headsets are for those who want to use a threadless stem with their (typically) original threaded fork but want better aesthetics and performance (stiffness, light weight) than a standard threadless adapter. Perhaps also for when someone doesn’t necessarily want a threadless stem but recognizes that the 31.8mm quill stems are either lacking in options, lacking in aesthetics, or very expensive for what you are getting. There are other minor benefits like allowing a lower handlebar position than any other option and offering a cartridge bearing headset as part of the package.

So you dont need any existing original parts ie crown race, cups etc to use this kit?

[@JJPELLC]

Correct, it comes with everything you need to use a threadless stem with your choice of frame and fork. We even have a French version now with M25x1mm threads, 22.0mm quill, and a specially sized crown race.

[@bandguy360]

@@JJPELLC thanks so much for your response, I am new to the vintage road world and am getting a little overwhelmed builing an early 80s peugeot. Which kit should I buy

[@JJPELLC]

You very likely need the French version given the age and manufacturer. If you have calipers to measure that will tell you for sure. All you really need to check is the steerer tube outer diameter: 25mm = French, 25.4mm = ISO

Is there a version suitable for old 1 1/8th threaded forks on old MTB's? Would be great for gravel conversions!

[@JJPELLC]

This has come up in the past and is something I'd consider if there was enough interest. In order to achieve the same threadless look like the current unit it would require a 1 1/4" threadless stem, though. That plus the availability of 1 1/8" threadless forks makes me feel like interest would be low. But I'm happy to be wrong!

[@beardymike77]

@@JJPELLC That's a bummer - I thought you might say that! Might be worth looking at how you could arrange the system? There's an absolute tonne of old Mtb's out there begging to be made into good gravel bikes!

[@JJPELLC]

@@beardymike77 With my focus always on the road side of things, perhaps I've ignored a major market on the MTB side. Which major brands of mid to high-end MTBs used 1 1/8" threaded forks?

[@beardymike77]

@@JJPELLC All of them at one point! Marin, Gary Fischer, Trek, Specialised, GT, literally most of them. I think the main one bucking the trend was 'Dale, because they always do their own thing. For people wanting to update their old bikes, the issue is that most stems for MTB's are now threadless and most bars are 31.8 clamp... most quill stems have small clamps and do not have a removable faceplate making it not entirely obvious that even a pair of humble riser bars will fit a stem without levering the clamp open with a prybar. All thats available is quill converters which look horrible... If you could manage to make a converter for 1 1/8" forks (not sure what the quill dia would be? 28mm something?) with a 1 1/8th extension out the top you'd be onto a winner...

[@JJPELLC]

@@beardymike77 Maintaining the 1 1/8" extension is the issue. In order to create a headset that works like the original innicycle, I need to thread over the fork but still maintain that as usable clamping space for the stem. In threading over a 1 1/8" fork it is geometrically-impossible to maintain a 1 1/8" clamp diameter. Using a 1 1/4" clamp diameter stem solves the problem but are customers going to accept that? Your thoughts? They are available for a reasonable price: www.ebay.com/itm/324190760983

Incredible video and love your headset adaptor. Where can I buy a headset adaptor like that. - Philippines

[@ogamogam6418]

Bro my steer tube is 8 inch while the steer fork is 7inch I can't lock it with the threaded headset any help here

[@JJPELLC]

Can you get more exact measurements? The shortest fork to headtube difference I typically recommend is 27mm. 25mm (1 inch) is under that so I’d say no if that is the case.

www.innicycle.com or www.forkmods.com (Australia -based reseller)

Had to use VPN to access the website, is this normal?

[@RoFrMa]

not all oldschool 1" frames accept 1 1/8 cups. you must make the hole bigger by putting the frame in a lathe

[@JJPELLC]

As much as I’d love to see a frame in a lathe, you won’t need one to install an innicycle headset. The cups are the standard size for a 1” headtube (30.2 mm). Have you watched the full video to see what the conversion entails? The only 1 1/8”-sized feature is external to the frame.

[@francissobotka8725]

I still think it does not have enough engagement with the steertube

[@JJPELLC]

How much is ‘enough’?

[@TheUrzur]

How can that be 1 1/8" if you use the same fork (1")?

[@JJPELLC]

Did you watch the whole video?
