Headset frustration.

On Training Wheels
I need a headset for this 70’s era Murray. Headtube ID is 34mm. I was planning on using a 1” threaded fork. The headset I ordered has cups that are too small. The only headsets I can seem to find with cups to fit 34mm, are meant to be used with a 1 1/8” fork. I dont mind switching to a threadless setup since I was going to use a quill adapter and mountain bike stem anyways, but I’m not sure if that will work.

Any advice?
 
I’ll check it out, thanks.


I took the frame to a local shop and test fit a standard 1 1/8” threadless cup and it seemed to be a good fit. I’ll likely just get a threadless fork and pair it with the threadless headset and the threadless stem I’d already bought.
