In need of some advise please.
I have a cannondale prophet which has a 1.5 steerer and cane creek headset fitted.
Just brought new tapered forks...
Now do I just need to change the top part of the headset or both?
Cheers
Just the top may even be able to get a spacer.
Just the top.
Did your headset come with a crown race?
Andrew.. Sorry I'm not sure what you mean
The crown race is a ring that slides onto the fork's steerer tube and fits it to the lower headset bearing

But to answer the question, just the top.
Ok stupid question.
To be honest I have never seen a headset without a crown race.
So I wasn't sure if you were talking about something different entirely ...
Also at what relevance?
We dont know what your current fork is so if say you had a head shock that didnt require a crown race your headset wouldnt have one so youd need a bottom half to fit your new forks.
Aha got you sorry.
It's a x fusion velvet.
That explains it....
No relavence at all, just a bit of an in-joke.
