Is it possible to get a headset that allows a standard (non tapered)fork to be used in a frame which has a tapered head tube? I ask as I have some Talas RC2 36 with Tapered Stearer and the stanchions need replacing and I am struggling to find a tapered version.

Any help or advice appreciated, cheers

Yes, you can either get a custom Chris King Devolution from Aspire Velotech, with a standard upper cup, or Cane Creek do 'reducer' headsets.

Lots more next year, although there's a few out there they've not really been imported into the UK.

Give Swinnertons in Fenton a call on 01782 747782. Ask for Craig. A mate of mine bought a Remedy off them a few weeks back and asked for Lyrics to be fitted. They might still have the tapered steerer set of original Foxes lying around. Alternatively they will sort you out with a step down headset.

Tell them BigJohn sent you.
