Looking for a fully integrated cane creek style headset for a Felt SIX Team 2012, 1 1/8th but the catch is its for a oversized head tube so the OD needs to be 50mm, this is the hard part as they all seem to be 46mm. Its been driving me crazy.
Heres a pic of what i have so far, You can see the gap where the headset cap diameter is to small to cover the oversized head tube.

Right diameter anyway..
Original spec is; [i]Fully Integrated 1-1/8"" Aheadset: Cane Creek sealed cartridge bearing, w/ Felt Tornado alloy top cap, custom curved 1 x 15mm + 2 x 5mm straight washers[/i]
What was on the bike before? Is it just a cosmetic thing, or is that cup actually rattling around in the headtube? Chris King do an InSet for 49mm headtubes IIRC.
I have never built the frame up, I think that headset would work. its just the finish on the exposed head tube is rough!
According to cane creek's headset finder you need:
SHIS:IS41/28.6|IS41/30 (1-1/8" Cane Creek Integrated IS Standard)

So according to that the Hope C headset will fit:
what about if i buy a semi integrated zs fsa one and just use the bearings and the top cap as i dont need the cups as i have them in my frame already ? is this possibly?
