IS47/33 bottom thread:

The IS headset is inserted into the head tube at the bottom; the installation dimension in the frame is 47 mm and the fork steerer tube diameter is 1 1/4 inches at the bottom. The headset cone requires a 33 mm seat on the fork at the bottom.

IS/Integrated Standard – fully integrated headset:

Headset assemblies designated IS / Integrated Standard are also referred to as fully integrated headsets. These headsets require a frame designed for this purpose, featuring a raceway for the bearings. ‘Integrated Standard’ refers to the fact that the bearings are inserted into the head tube without bearing cups, whilst, for example, ‘IS44’ denotes the installation dimension, the outer diameter of the bearings and the inner diameter of the bearings within the frame. These headsets do not require any special tools; the frame is already prepared for them.
