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.
