Just got some new forks for my Alloy Santa Cruz Nomad Mk 2 which has a 1.5" headtube. As I'm currently running a reducer I need to install a new headset and would like a semi-integrated/zero-stack headset but so far drawn a blank in 1.5" size.
Anyone got any suggestions as to what would fit?
Cheers
I take it you are running a fork with a tapered steerer?
If so you can only have the top cup zero stack. For a tapered steerer you need a top cup to this spec ZS49/28.6 and a bottom cup like this EC49/40.
Has found here on the Hope site
I be got a hope one installed. No idea of the reference
Thanks both.
The new forks have a straight 1.5" steerer, not tapered.
Any thoughts on appropriate headsets for that combination?
Cheers
1.5" straight is a bit of a rare beast these days...
The hope guide gives you one option but not zero stack, is the stack height for the geo not designed around a headset with an amount of stack on it?
Going by the pics on the hope site the headset needs stack as you can't fit a sensible size bearing in the head tube with the steerer.
