Bottom headset cup is a EC44 but the fork has a lower dia of 1.25".....
Struggling to find one that will fit or can I get crown race adaptor?
1.5" to 1/-1/8th is common but haven't seen this size????
Any help appreciated

This is the one you need but sold out at Charlie

I also got in a muddle with this and got a hope headset. I had to have a spacer/shim thing machined to make it work.

l.e. The crown race was in stock when I posted, seems someone ordered it in the meantime :).

Second easiest would be to get a EC44/30 bottom and have the crown race ID machined to 1 1/4.

Alternatively, as RichT mentioned, use an [url= https://www.merlincycles.com/hope-hs136-15-1-1-8-reducer-57832.html ]adapter[/url] (machined to 33mm ID) and a standard EC44/40 bottom.

@austinburner just spent all afternoon trying to sort out the same problem on my Salsa Vaya and as advised by otsdr I seem to have bought the last one from Charlie the bikemonger. But I think I might have another solution and might not need it so email me
