Thought I would share this for anyone strugeling to sort a headset for the above bikes. Ok the smoothie fits fine but is a bit heavy (169gm) and after some research found this Gusset mix n match headset at £31.58 from Wiggle and weighing 127gm it also comes with 1 1/8th and 1.5 crown race which is split for easy installation also included is a star nut. Quality seems as good as the smoothie but lighter and far better value as its £20 extra for the 1.5 crown race for the smoothie. This is a 1 1/8 zero stack top 2 (zs44/28.6) and a 1 1/8 external bottom E (ec49/40)[img] http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh307/superhondaman/image_zps971831a8.jpg [img] http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh307/superhondaman/image_zps43cc0527.jpg [/img][img] http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh307/superhondaman/image_zps971831a8.jp g" target="_blank">http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh307/superhondaman/image_zps971831a8.jpg [img] http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh307/superhondaman/image_zps43cc0527.jpg [/img][img] http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh307/superhondaman/image_zps971831a8.jp g"/> [/img]
