I have a 2010 Ragley Mmmbop
https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/bikes/hard-tails/ragley-bikes-mmmbop-2010/

It has a 1.5" straight headtube

I have (or soon will have) a pair of On-one rigid carbon forks like these:-

It has a 1 1/8 steerer

What headset will I need? Ideally I want something silver (or perhaps something I can sand back to silver if it isn't too expensive and won't damage it).

The world of MTBing is a Pandora's Box these days...

Internally (simply using a ruler) it is 50mm.

Inside the headtube is another narrower diameter ... which from that would probably be 44mm.

My headtube doesn't seem to have any sort of rebate as suggested by the diagrams on the Hope website - it just seems to be a constant 50mm diameter.

Looking at this, the nearest thing to it seems be HSC4

Looking at this, the nearest thing to it seems be HSCD

Does that seem right?

Straight 1.5 are 49.6 ish, zs49 reducer upper, then a ec49 lower with a crown reducer for future proof ability or zs49 for 30.

Edited due to auto correct f up.

Upper : HSC4

Lower : HSCF* + reducer. I expect. Might not be the crown/downtube clearance to use HSCD. Play safe.

[ *which is ec49 ]

Those codes are old.
Hope type 4 upper.
Hope lower type D or F + reducer crown.
Same codes apply to superstarcomponents, which are also decent.
