That's what kind of makes sence to me but I wanted to make sure.No basically get some 1" cups and put them in the frame.(thats the only parts you need from a 1" headset)Next take a normal intergrated headset.Take one of the bearing races and look at them ....they will appear to be 2 sealed bearings (one for the top and one for the bottom)Take the top headset bearing and remove its casing .... inside you will see a group of bearings inside a ring.Take this ring of bearings out and place them into the 1" cupsDo the same again for the other cup.Use the rest of the hiddenset to put all the bits on to tension
I'm still surprised that a company hasn't come out with cups that will fit a 1" frame but will be large enough to hold an 1 1/8" bearing without modification. It seems like it would be pretty simple.

Building cups that don't require additional adapters, in my mind, is still a better solution.
I just started getting into flatland stuff about 3 days ago and suck so far, I blame my sh*tty bike and lack of practice.
