    I have done a search and can’t find any past posts 🙁 including a google search.

    I have loads of bit and really none of them fit together due to nothing being standard fit anymore (not like the good old days)

    Anyway…

    I have managed to get a BB to fit a BB30 chainsets to a ‘standard’ GXP style BB shell (not tried it yet)

    So not I have the issue if the forks that I have a tapered steerer and my frame is a ‘standard’ 1 and 1/8th head tube. I need to find a head set that will fit…

    I have seen this but the little amount of info about it I am not to sure if it will work (but my head tube is not internal) http://mbbearings.co.uk/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=53&products_id=726

    Good luck with this one.

    I don’t fancy your chances.

    I don’t think you can do it.

    a 1&1/8 will fit a tapered HT with an adapter, but I don’t think you can get a tapered steerer ina 1&1/8 HT.

    That link is for 44mm headtubes, not std 1&1/8 ones BTW

    Tapered steerer is 38.1mm.
    1/8th headtube is 33.8mm.
    But by all means keep looking.
    Let us know how you get on with the bb30 chainset and bsa bb as well 😉

    I think that is an internal headset and not external so I guess it has the 44mm and not the 33.8mm dimensions as suggested by Rorschach…

    I now think it may not be possible without a dangerously long bottom cup.

    Cheers all anyway.
