[Closed] Rear Axle and Headset Confusion

So I'm looking at getting a new dj frame and like the look of the dartmoor two6 player: http://dartmoor-bikes.com/hardware/dirt-street/two6player

It's got horiz dropouts which fit an axle of 135x10mm and I currently have a halo spin doctor hub running qr. I've converted a front from qr to 20mm for my forks so know how to swap axles etc but wanted to check that this kit is what I think to be all I need: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/halo-spin-doctor-solid-rear-axle-kit/rp-prod20502

Also, the frame has a tapered headset and says that it fits headsets: EC34/ZS49 or EC34/EC49. I'd be running a straight steerer fork and my understanding it that a normal upper cup size fits (1 1/8th) but that I need a lower cup with an O.D of 1.5 and an I.D of 1 1/8th, the issue being I have no knowledge of what the different codes correspond to.

Cheers for your help

According to [url= http://www.halowheels.com/products/part/HUHASDA1 ]Halo's website[/url], that axle kit is the only thing needed.

SHIS numbers for the cups include both OD and ID, the frame manufacturer only provided the ODs.
Using the [url= http://www.hopetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/HOPEHEADSETS2011Web.pdf ]Hope headset guide[/url] we can see that your only option for the top is an EC34/28.6 ("2" in Hope's case).
For the bottom you can either use a zero stack (ZS49/30) ("D"), or an external cup (EC49/40) with the 1'1/8 to 1.5'' converter (HS136) for a slightly slacker front end. The important thing is to end up with an ID of 30 for the bottom.
