I am intrigued now, the headset really doesn't have bearings. The headtube
is slightly conical at both ends and a circular split bush compresses into
the headtube when the central allen screw is tightened. I have googled for
it but cant find any info or images.


*ALL* headsets use bearings, AFAIK. Are you able to take photos
yourself of what you have, and post them somewhere?


Some small-wheelers have a ball race at the bottom and a nylon bush at
the top.
