Morning all,
I after a 1.5" crown race for an On One Smoothie headset which should be straightforward enough barring the small detail of On One/PX not listing them on their website...
So what are my options? Will any crown race do or does it need to be specific to match the angle of the bearings etc or some other technicality?
Hopeful bump 😉
There's a good chance that a Hope one will work.
From a bit of Googling the Smoothie uses bearing's with a 45 degree angle.
HTH
I asked a similar question a few years back - the last post on the thread might be the answer you’re looking for e.g. a hope alternative (url link thingy isn’t working):

That said, that was back in the day when I did my own repairs and spent hours trawling the internet to get the correct part. Next time round I took it to my lbs and they just sourced something out of their box of stuff, not a hope or on-one part.
Had a reply back from PX/OO today to say they don't have a "specific crown race" in stock for the Smoothie however an FSA Crown Race For DX Pro Headset has the same dimensions so would be suitable.
Fortunately for me I found my crown race so am sorted but it maybe of use to anyone else looking for a suitable alternative 🙂
