chris king threaded headsets

<< I cannot get the difference between the 2-nut and the grip-nut version.
I want to replace my indexed Dura-Ace 7410 that I'm using with an ahead
adapter, which one do I need?
(I also saw that CK offers a threadless conversion kit, nice feature if
one day I'll find a carbon fork on my way).
And btw who has them for less $$$ online? Here in Europe I should sell
my bike to buy one :-(

The GripNut cannot be used with spacers, so use itf your
threaded fork steerer has been cut four use with a headset
stack height between 33mm and 38mm. If your steerer tube is
longer, and you don't want to cut it down, get the TwoNut
and some spacers. You can order headset parts by mail
directly from Chris King, (800) 523-6008.

After some reading I think I got it. My current headset has
a 37.6 stack height, so I should be able to use both models
without problems, isn't? The best I found at the moment is
the TwoNut at 98.95$ at Excel, is that a good deal? (I don't
think CK accepts international mail orders)

Thanks!

Try this: go to www.qbike.com and they will search about
twenty to thirty on-line stores and ebay for you so you can
get the best deal.

It works (for the sites it searches). Also try www.ital-
tecno.com, they often have very good prices.

Get the two nut, which is like the DA you have. The grip nut
is a wierd setup where the top nut threads INTO the upper
cup, not directly onto the fork steerer. It works, but you
cannot put spacers in the headset for fit. use the two nut.

They are a 'fair traded' item, that is should be a
range of MSRP.
