    Hi all,

    I’m sure it has been asked before but can anyone tell me what headset I need for a Giant Anthem X with a standard Fox tapered steerer?

    Everytime I think I know, it turns out I don’t!

    Thanks

    For the original fork it came with or a new one – if it’s a new one, Take the headset out and measure the internal diameter of the headtube?
    It probably got an. ‘overdive’ headset and fork so 1&1/4 top bearing and 1&1/5 lower. However the headtube diameter is same as a standard 44/56 (I think).

    Check the frame to see if it has a Overdrive or Overdrive 2 transfer on it,near head tube usually.
    Overdrive is a standard tapered internal headset,1″ 1/8 top with a 1.5 bottom.
    Overdrive 2 use’s 1″ 1/4 top and 1.5 bottom.
    Use the same frame but Overdrive 2 frames use different top cup,stem and steerer.
    Thanks,

    It doesn’t come with a headset but on the outside it says overdrive.

    The fork is not a factory built in fork so just a standard taper, 1 1/8″ to 1 1/5″.

    I assume it is an integrated? Or semi integrated? And I know it needs to be zero stack..

    Thanks guys

    Semi integrated, you need a ZS44/28.6 top cup and a ZS56/40 bottom cup.
