On line sources seem to focus on high volume items and often run out of things that then pop up again a while later. Perhaps roller bearing headsets are one of those "really cool but slow movers". Tange has made them as well as IRD & perhaps VO at some time. They seem to come'n'go. If your situation does not require immediate attention, keep poking around.
To your question, IRD is the one who could answer that with authority. All the guessing we do here is just speculation. Personally, if I were making a niche product such as 1" threaded roller bearing headsets, I'd be happy to sell all of them I could to anyone who'd buy. dougP On Sunday, July 15, 2018 at 12:25:11 PM UTC-7, George Schick wrote: > > I'm in need of a new headset and I like the way the IRD Roller Drive has > worked on one of my bikes.
