Icetoolz reamers with other brand’s holders

[Deanhorsfall]

So I recently purchased a Cyclus head tube reamer/ facer to prepare frames for Chris King 1 1/8” headsets. Chris King require a diameter of 33.871-33.8836 - The Cyclus outside diameter is 34.00 mm and I’m considering buying an Icetoolz reamer for Chris King and using it on the Cyclus tool. I’m not sure it will work? Cyclus make a 33.80 reamer. Park tools make a 33.90 which would be great if it fit the Cyclus holder. I just am curious if anyone has experimented with compatibility between brands. I read that someone used an Icetoolz reamer on an old Var tool with a custom bushing.

Hi Dean, I am going to transfer this thread to the Frame Building Forum where it might get a few more eyes.
