Semi-integrated so 44mm internal diameter?

There are certainly angle headsets that will fit that - although you might end up with an external top cup, eg:

The superstar one also looks to have a stuiable fit option:

Best bet is to knock the current one out and measure up

Yeah I've just been looking at those and couldn't work out if they would work. If the only difference is that it'd be an external cup I don't mind about that.

Will get the old one out and have a look.

Been thinking about this for my daughter's blast.

Would be interested to know which one fits.

Why? is she complaining of lack of stability at high speed a lot?

Not really any need for sarcasm is there.

I just think it might give my lad a bit more confidence on the downs. Especially in the alps.
