need help on headset conversion? Pretty Please?

[Weeping Bear]

I have a Giant revel Jr. 24" Wheels that I'm planning on converting the fork to 26" air suspension because it's hard to find a 24" suspension fork--thats another story though. Anyways I kind of realized that it has 1" quill stem on it, so I assume it has a 1" threaded headset, and the standard threadless suspension fork is 1 1/8". Could I convert the headset from 1' threaded to a 1 1/8" Threadless? Thanks in adavance!

Unfortunately, no. You can go 1 1/8” to 1” but not the other way around. Good luck.

I would be surprised if Giant, the miser king, didn't have a 34mm headtube on even the kid's bikes. Better knock the cups out of the frame and measure.

Good call. Maybe get lucky! Depends on the vintage.

I believe my daughters Giant XTC Jr 24" also had a threaded 1" fork and quill stem on it before I broke it down and rebuilt it. The frame has a normal sized headtube and the original headset was just a "reducer" type to bring it down to 1". I was able to swap it for a normal 1 1/8" headset to run a short travel 26" fork. I have zero knowledge of the Revel frame, but maybe you'll get lucky and fine the same thing.

so if it has 34mm headtube, I should be able to fit a 1 1/8" threadless head there?

yes - new headset would be required.

All these might work out. But when I compute all the bucks upgrading it, it's better if I buy the 2021 Giant STP Jr. instead. I'll wait till March or April then. Cheers!
