[url= http://www.stif.co.uk/mtb/product/chris-kingtapered-nothreadset-1-125-to-1-5headset-black-id-25559/8891 ]Kind bloke told me that this would fit my bike perfectly, (note the ID's)[/url]

[url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=70727 ]But does that mean I can pick the standard top cup from this and the "D" traditional step down bottom instead?[/url]
Does step down just mean tapered or is it a reducer from 1.5 to 1.25?

Really appreciate the help!

If you've got a tapered head tube and you fitting a tapered fork then you need either a tapered headset as in the first link, or a 1.125 top cup and a 1.5 bottom cup from the hope pick'n'mix

If you are fitting a non - tapered fork to a tapered head tube then you need a 1.5 to 1.125 reducer cup.
