upper is 44mm -

For tapered forks you will want a 44mm/zero stack/integral 1 1/8" cup.
(Hope #2 - CRC part 269846)

lower is 49.6mm -

For taper forks you will want a Traditional 1.5" cup.
(Hope #F - CRC part 269856)

not doubting them but after several less than brilliant experiences with various SS bits, i'll be leaving them alone in favour of hope ones.

(that and the fact i've got vouchers for CRC)
