Anyone had any experience putting a tapered fork on a bike with a 44 headtube?
I’ve got a 2011 turner 5spot with this and am having trouble sourcing a bottom part of the headset.
Bloody ridiculous standards!?!
Any help appreciated!

A few topics down the front page and with a much more descriptive title: http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/what-headset-for-tapered-steerer-to-fit-44mm-headtube

hmm my searching skills are very obviously lacking tonight, cheers andyl

no worries, the hope lower cup would be your easiest and in my opinion best bet.

Just put a Hope one on my Mega, from their pick & mix options. The upper is integrated, lower is normal. Lower is the H model, upper (I think ) is the #2 option.

I put a Chris King inset 7 in my Mega. Internal upper and external lower to fit tapered steerer

Look at the Hope pick n mix as fivespot says. Look at the hope website and fin the technical support pdf for headsets. If you get confused phone Hope, they’re quite helpful in telling you which one you need. I did that just recently when I was looking for a headset for my new frame.

cheers, I’ve got the top part its just the lower i need.
Right, lets see if Bristol can sell me a ‘H’ lower headset.

I’d ordered 2 different ones from CRC, both wrong.

Bike and Bad Ass Bikes do Hope but don’t know about the pick ‘n mix. Should have asked earlier as you could have had it delivered from Merlin in the morning 🙁

ok, a few calls need to be made! So keen to get the new forks on and take it for a thrash.
