i can forward it to Todd Lyons the product manager for them. i am not sure of your question though. are you looking for steerer size? 1", 1 1/8.
where are you at in NJ?
I need a 1" threaded steerer, and i want to run it with a particular headset, which uses a 26.4mm crown race. I'm also hoping it's the old-skool american/opc standard inner diameter of .833/ 21.1mm, but i can work around all of that. If you can forward it and it's not too much trouble, that'd be much appreciated by me, and possibly by others. I was surprised it wasn't listed under "specs" on their website, but no one seems to be including that info anywhere in ebay auctions, shop sites, etc.

I think he's asking if the crown race ID is the old 26.4mm or newer 27.0mm. 1" steerers come in either variety like the headsets.
Quite right, except that i don't think it's appropriate to think of the 27.0mm races as "newer". They're actually just the older japanese industrial standard, but many chinese manufacturers have adopted it for their new, less expensive bikes and replacement forks(eg sunlite-branded stuff). I think it seems "newer" b/c we're seeing more cheap replacement 1" threaded forks coming from china, and coming with that race size. Really, 1" threaded is pretty much finished for almost all new bikes, except for very inexpensive bikes from china (which will likely have 27.0 races) and high-end customs from everywhere else (which will have 26.4 races.) Incidentally, i haven't been able to find a 1" threadless with a 27.0 race, nor a 1" threaded bmx headset (32.7mm cups) with a 27.0 race.
But, yeah, i need to buy a nice, bmx-cruiser type fork with a @7"long 1" threaded steering tube for my project, and it needs to take a 26.4mm race.
Thanks.

EDIT: YST makes a 32.7cup/27.0race headset, turns out. And, Bighit, I'm in south Jersey, near Cherry Hill.
