Price: £65.00

Those of us with fat head tubes have traditionally only had two choices when it came to 1.5-into-1 1/8th headsets: cheap and nasty ball-bearing ones that weigh a ton and go rusty after about three rides, or very expensive ones that are okay.
.
Praise be to Hope for finally spotting the gap in the market and making this headset.
It’s perfect. 113g, minimal stack height (11mm), DIY-replaceable cartridge bearings, split crown race, acceptable price tag. Like all their headsets it even comes with a Hope Hed Doctor – (although I still prefer to use a standard star fangled nut).
Overall: If you’re in the market for a Stepdown headset there is no better option.
