Evening folks,

Just picked up a solaris mk2 and need to source a headset. I will be running reba 29 rl 2015 which has a tapered steerer.
I believe a hope 2h headset will suit but would appreciate a second opinion... also take reccomendation on alternative brands.

Cheers!

Mk2,the one that got away...

Cotic website says 2H, see component sizes here:

I have a Mk2 with a hope 2H headset so can confirm it fits.
Cane Creek 40 series is a mid-price option, available from CRC, you need the EC44-40 bottom cup and ZS44-28.6 top.
Alternatively, here's a cheaper FSA option from on-one:

Cane Creek for me. It's got about 3000 miles and three winters under it's belt...still going strong.

Mk2,the one that got away…

Got away how? I'm still riding mine!
