So I am now the proud owner of a 2013 Specialized Camber Comp frame ready for the winter project. While I wait for the frame to arrive I am of course working out all the details ready for the build. So my question is; What Hope pick and Mix headset do I need?
From Specialized website it a "Campy style upper with 1-1/2" lower, cartridge bearings" which is not really much use and I am really getting confused!
Can anyone shed some light on this?
Thanks in advance!

I think they're like the stumpys, where just the bearings drop in. The headset cups are already a part of the frame. [url= http://www.edgesportsuk.com/store/index.php/popular-products/specialized-fit-headset-bearings-11-8-1-5-tapered.html ]Something like these.[/url]
Someone with the bike should confirm though!
The bearings should just drop into the frame on a 2013, bog standard 45° 1.5 inch cartridge for the bottom and a 45° 1 1/8th on the top, dimensions below, or go and ask Adam next time you're in BS 😉
Upper bearing OD=42 x ID=30 x A=45° (for 28.6mm / 1 1/8th upper steerer)
Lower bearing OD=52 x ID=40 x A=45° (for 38.1mm / 1.5 lower steerer)*
*assuming you're going to use a tapered fork, if you want to use normal you'll need

If you don't have the crown race and upper assembly and need a full headset then look for one that uses the above bearings.
