I got a Hope 1.5 to 1 1/8 stepdown headset for my Ragley mmmBop, as I read somewhere that I could then just buy a new bottom cup and crown race if I ever decided to go to a tapered steerer fork.

Well, that day has come, but I can’t seem to find anywhere that sells just the bottom cup or 1.5″ crown race. Any STW’ers able to point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance

Get any Hope dealer to order one in, will only take a day or so…

Fill yer boots!!

Cheers Druidh. Just about to order one from TBC – don’t suppose you know if bottom cup E comes with the 1.5″ crown race? Can’t see the crown race as a separate option…

I don’t think Hope do anything for 1.5″ or tapered steerers?

All the Hope options are to fit a standard 1-1/8″ steerer…

I’m happy to be proven wrong though.

The link above posted by Druidh shows that they do bits for 1.5″ and tapered headsets too. It’s a bit confusing though

Actually, just realised that it’s Cup F I need, not Cup E…

Well those nice people at Hope responded to my email within 30 minutes this afternoon, and confirmed that the bottom cup does indeed come with the crown race. So order about to be placed.

Dammit – I didn’t see this earlier. Glad you got a response.
