I seem to remember reading somewhere (ages ago) that someone made an angle reducing headset for 1 1/8 head tubes. As all my bikes at the time had tapered head tubes I promptly forgot about it.

Does anyone know if they're still being made, and if so then by whom?

Many thanks

Italian guy… try PinkBike.

And Works Components, of course.

No idea if either have stock to send out.

Yeah, Works do one. Only 1 degree which won't make a bad bike good but it could make a good bike better.

It's worth checking exactly what your setup is- there are different straight steerer standards and some have a little more room than others. Or sometimes you can pull some random shenanigans, like, my Orange 224 Evo had an adjustable head angle doohicky and a straight steerer heatset, but by removing the entire eccentric adjuster I was able to change it for a larger, 2 degree headset.
