All,

I am looking to buy a tapered/reducer headset for my 09 SWorks FSR frame, which I will be putting a straight steerer fork in.

I have no idea what the hell I am looking for tbh, and the research I have done has not got me what I want - which is a headset to fit the frame but in red? All I do know is Hope do one, but only in black!

Can anyone adivse on relevant products and prices pls?

TIA.

there's two 44mm 'standards' floating about at the moment for head tubes - I'd make sure you get the right one for your frame.

I assume it's a 1 1/8" top and 44mm bottom on the headtube?

The website says:

1-1/8" to 1.5" Threadless, Campy style, cartridge bearing

This is integrated? So all you need is a campy integrated tapered reducer?

So would it be a ISi reducer on the bottom - so you need 1/2 of a italian integrated reducer headset?

This might help you understand?
