get down to business: Trance X (with tapered headset)
Frame has an internal tapered headset with angular contact bearings (FSA ZS Orbit I think) with a 1.5 race-crown
It came with the frame, and want to fit my new fork with a 1 1/8' steerer.
Does anybody know where one could find a reducer racecrown so I may keep the headset and fit my 1 1/8' forks.
Cheers!
Tom
My trance-x frame came with one - giant dealers must sell 'em
(pretty sure it's been done on here before too - have a search)
Yeh thought it would be the case alright. suppose an email to the local Giant dealer is in order so 🙁
Hope do a reducer which may work okay if you can't get the single part reducer crown race: http://www.merlincycles.com/bike-shop/mtb-parts/mtb-accessories/headsets-1/hope-hs136-15-1-1-8-reducer.html?utm_campaign=googlebase-GB&utm_source=googlebase&utm_medium=shopping&utm_term=Headsets
Plenty of reducer crown races around but may not have the correct angle for the bearings as yours (you can check by looking at the bearing markings and comparing them) but the reducer should let you use your existing crown race.

Cheers guys!
So either Hope's HS136 race crown reducer
OR
which sounds like the exact race crown I'm looking for
