Hi all.
Currently run a carbon 456 with straight steerer'd revelations.
I want to swap out for a taper revelation, and need to change the lower cup to the reducer set currently on there to allow me to run tapered. Unsure of exactly what headset is on there currently (2nd hand) but the top cup is a Superstar Tapertech EX and no reason to believe they are different.
So can i just buy a new crown race from somewhere? Or do I need more than that?
Cheers!
Isn't the reducer a bit that goes on the fork crown, then the standard tapered race goes on the reducer?
Just take the race off the reducer and put it on the new forks.
I hope so! That would be great. I will check when I receive the new fork, cheers.
I have a superstar tapertech headset and it just has 2 different crown races to fit taper or normal steerer, but the rest of it is the same whichever fork you have in. Just had a look though, and superstar seem to be out of stock of spare 1.5" crown races at the moment.
I have a Gusset semi integrated headset and the bottom cup came with 2 different crown races ,1 for 1.5inch forks and 1 for 1-1/8 forks the cup and bearing were the same you just swap out the Crown race.
