    I’m looking at changing my headset to a Hope. The last one I brought was easy as it was 1 1/8 standard.

    My new frame is 44mm headtube and I’m going to be popping tapered forks in it. I think I need a Hope 2 for the top and H for the bottom, have I got it right?

    Yes, top will be ZS44/28.6, bottom EC44/40.

    I’m about to do the same on my Lapierre Zesty. Do I need to replace the top cup, which is fine?

    What forks are you getting teadrinker?

    I don’t think you do partyboy. Just the bottom should be fine. I’ve just picked up a Orange Clockwork and I’m transferring all my parts on to it, I’ll be putting my Reba’s on it. Thought I might as well go the the hole hog whilst I’m at at.

    Should be fine 28.6 is 28.6 & top cups have a relatively easy life. Might need to add or remove a shim
