Eric, thanks for your take on headset! I was hoping Corwin would post pictures of the headset laid out, not stacked, so one could visualize the respective parts. And one picture I'd like a do-over of is the one that glares out the side of box that lists kit contents.
It's esthetically pleasing, anyways. I could do without the lettering/language, as I don't like serving as a company's billboard. Are bearings cartridge or carriage type?

Nice finish, seems to be considered a good design by people who've run them on their bikes. Zero miles on mine so far. On Tuesday, December 13, 2022 at 7:34:46 PM UTC-5 cjus...@gmail.com wrote: Lol. Still getting used to this place. Just realized my last comment responded to something from 6+ months ago...so it goes...at least the thread was current ;) That said, just want to thank the OP again for doing this as CC is so meaningful to the sport of cycling and any support directed his way is great! Hope to see more opportunities like this. Thx!

As someone with a couple of Scorchers, I will only say that the one thing that is more fun than an Ibis Scorcher is a Willits Scorcher with Schwalbe 2.35" Big Ones. Fixed and Plush! In fact, I never really enjoyed fixed riding as much, until I rode fixed and fat. The originals are an interesting insight into the influence Wes would ultimately have and so cool, but he really nailed it with the Willits versions as a blast of a bike.

They certainly both have that iconoclastic vibe http://www.63xc.com/scorcher/scorcher.htm On Friday, April 29, 2022 at 12:48:56 PM UTC-5 Greg J wrote: I am also thinking hard about which bike is appropriate for this headset. The closest I have to that era MTB is an Ibis SS, but I'm thinking maybe the '81 Ritchey sport-touring or the Riv Wford All-Rounder?

In honor of Charlie I'm going to execute two maker projects: 1. I'm going to make a little plastic shadowbox to display the postcard of Jacquie and Charlie, along with the autographed headset box. I'll hang that on my wall.2. But wait, Bill, your new Roadeo is going to be 1" threadless! Yup! In my community college machine shop class, I'm going to convert this threaded headset into a threadless headset. How the heck are you gonna pull of that craziness?!?! Wait and see!

I sat back to be polite and let all the smart money buy them up. When I emailed Jacquie she still had headsets to sell. So I bought a headset and a chain. I'll sit back again to let the smart money buy what remains, but after my politeness runs out, I might go back and buy more.

Charlie Cunningham and Jacquie Phelan have an ample store of spare parts. Today, we offer you WTB headsets and Sachs/Sedis chains. Please send mail directly to Jacquie: Jacquie at batnet.com. Payment should be via paypal using Jacquie's email address. Friends and family only please. Please do not send any money until Jacquie confirms your purchase. About the headsets... These are WTB Grease Guard headsets. Grease Guard was a "thing" back in the early days of mountain biking. Charlie created Grease Guard and SunTour licensed it. Wilderness Trail Bikes (WTB) is the company Charlie founded and was later forced out of. These are 1" threaded headsets, and are new-in-box. Each box is personally signed by Charlie, so you not only get a great headset - you get a piece of history and a collector's item. The headsets are priced at $75 plus shipping via USPS. About the chains... These are Sachs/Sedis 6/7/8 speed chains. They measure 57 inches long and therefore have 114 links each. The chains are new and unused. You can buy a less expensive chain elsewhere - or you can buy one of these Sachs/Sedis chains, get a piece of history and help out Jacquie and Charlie. The chains are priced at $40 each plus shipping via USPS.
