Looking for a fully integrated cane creek style headset for a Felt SIX Team 2012, 1 1/8th but the catch is its for a oversized head tube so the OD needs to be 50mm, this is the hard part as they all seem to be 46mm. Its been driving me crazy.

Heres a pic of what i have so far, You can see the gap where the headset cap diameter is to small to cover the oversized head tube.

What was on the bike before? Is it just a cosmetic thing, or is that cup actually rattling around in the headtube? Chris King do an InSet for 49mm headtubes IIRC.

I have never built the frame up, I think that headset would work. its just the finish on the exposed head tube is rough!

According to cane creek's headset finder you need:

SHIS:IS41/28.6|IS41/30 (1-1/8" Cane Creek Integrated IS Standard)

So according to that the Hope C headset will fit:
