Im attracted to the oil slick litepro headset h73. As The stock stem is physis 3D which does not require the litepro top cover if I replace it, means it will be pointless if I buy any colour of litepro headset?

I have issue of creaking sound.....most likely coming from the folding stem (Litepro). I suspect that during installation, the person must have omitted something. (Maybe compression ring). Can you advise me on how to post a photo to you for you to help take a look?

I brought it to a bike shop for installation and the 44mm Litepro headset (same as the one in your blog) wasn't compatible, according to the mechanic. It's a bit puzzling because TB website did say that it's suitable for folding bikes. Do you have idea of the internal diameter of the headtube of a D18? If I don't remember wrongly, the mechanic said the Litepro headset was too big.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10244917312557415516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932426191875887596.post-4738459768172134452021-01-04T06:32:48.492+08:002021-01-04T06:32:48.492+08:00Yup it should.

Took the digital capliper out and getting 43.95mm diameter on the Litepro.The Dahon Internal Diameter seems to show 43.85 / 43.90. Sorry I couldn't edit my intitial post by the way, the headset I'm thinking about are "Hope" and not "True". They specs say their Integral (not integrated!) headset is 44.10 intended to fit in headset that are 43.95. My thinking is just that I'm within my measuring error range and that Tern won't have gone to the trouble of creating a whole new spec / are using standard Integral types headset on their bikes, does that make sense to you?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10012809816139033118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932426191875887596.post-48840300280031536722016-10-02T21:33:02.454+08:002016-10-02T21:33:02.454+08:00You can't just use any integrated headset as i...You can't just use any integrated headset as it may not fit the frame.

If I understand you well the Physis 3D doesn't require the LitePRo top cover, does this mean I could do with a standard "integrated" 44mm headset?
