    Does anyone know of any headsets with a tall lower cup? I want to try and slacken the headangle on my heckler frame, as it feels like its going to tuck on corners. i think i just got used to riding something really slack after using 140 forks on a frame that shouldn't have had them! The only one i can find is a canecreek +5, but i'd rather have something with a split crown race. I thought i'd try this before changing my Thors for some 36's.

    Hope headsets have split crown races and are mostly taller at the bottom than at the top.

    Only something like 10 – 12mm on the bottom though.

    Hi, I have currently got a hope headset on there. I have plenty of steerer tube so thought that moving some of the spare length under the headtube would be a simple fix! Slogo, thats what i was thinking too, it shouldn't move about at all when assembled, so why cant they all be made like that, cost i suppose!

    Doubt if 5 extra mm under the headtube is really going to slacken the HA enough to be noticeable imo

    take the top out springs out of your fork that will give some extra height
