Nothing against hope but didnt want to pay over half the cost of the frame on a headset so i can run a tapered fork on a semi intergrated 44mm internal diameter 1 1/8 headtube as cant find straight forks i want.

I believe i need the alternatives to these.

HOPE : 2 TOP
S.H.I.S. : ZS44/28.6
1 1/8” Integral

HOPE : H BOTTOM
S.H.I.S. : EC44/40
1.5” Traditional

Assume theres no issues doing this on a cube frame?

A Nukeproof 44IETS will do the job, £36 from CRC.

THANKS, thats £20 saved right there, although not too keen on the graphics but hey ho

Gussett as well i believe do a pick and mix type thing.

+1 Nukeproof

Keep in mind, there’s a couple of different sizes for 1.5″ Traditional, ie. EC44/40 and EC49/40.

Hope ‘H’ or Hope ‘F’. Just make sure its 44mm ID at the bottom if you’re buying EC44/40.
