As I will soon be the lucky owner of the above frame, I'm a bit confuddled about headsets. Can any of you kind people tell me what I'll need? I think it'll need a tapered headset, and I'll be using it with 1 1/8 steerer forks, so I presume an adaptor is needed? There's a lot of different things out there - help!
Ive only ever had Chris King headsets.. Expensive but fit and forget.. mine have outlasted the bike.
Hope Pick and Mix is the answer. See
Looks like you'll need a Hope 2 for the top and a Hope E for the bottom plus the Hope HS136 converter.
One One also do headset that may work http://www.on-one.co.uk/i/q/HSOOSMTAPER/on_one_smoothie_mixer_tapered_headset
Thanks guys - we have emailed Hope to double check as still a bit confused!
Your local Spesh dealer may have or can order the correct one inc the lower adaptor
After my dear other half spent most of a day searching for the correct headset, it turns out it's arrive with one in a box!
