Hi,

I am trying to get a tapered headset to fit a Yeti, and its been a bit of a nightmare; 7 week wait for a hope one! and in the end the bike shop admitted defeat.

So whats good? and any ideas where has some in stock! as the problem appeared as soon as you try and order them if they are out fo stock

What do you actualy need? I'm not familiar with Yeti's of late, but might have something that will do the job.

Is it a 1.5 headtube and a tapered fork steerer, or is it a tapered headtube?

Its for a ASR5, and some RockShox revelation tapered forks

Would one of those On-One Smoothie headsets fit? Had one came with my C456 and it seems quite nicely made.

I had a Chris King put in my asr5 to use with tapered forks. Couldn't give you a link but was put in by Bromley Bikes.

Ah. Sorry, I have a Hope 1.5/taper converter headset here that wasn't needed on a build when the cutomer realised he had a different fork than he thought he had.
