Decent 1" threadless headset for tandem?
Hello All!
I am new here. We just bought our first tandem today (also a Santana Arriva) and it will also need some work. IT is good to have this forum and find others restoring an Arriva and sharing their experiences. As per strong recommendations by Santana, we will upgrade to a threadless 1" unicrown fork (the bike is probably a 1988) to replace the original investment cast crown fork. Won't be as pretty or elegant as the original but I have no idea of the past of this tandem. It is and looks like a used tandem. Better safe than falling on our faces one day. The 1" replacement can be still bought at Santana for $299. They even give a $50 rebate if you send in your original fork first. But.... now I need a threadless 1" headset. Chris King is surely great but is there an option strong enough for a road tandem that does not cost about half of what we paid for the whole tandem? Thanks!
