[Closed] best converter, to run straight 1" 1/8th steerer in a tapered frame.

We have used the Cane Creek one on a couple of our frames which have been good. They were supplied by Specialized but I'm sure they can be purchased off the shelf and are very easy to use.

the hope one works just fine for me.
cost 20quid I think

Hope ones are a tenner.

lover end of headtube

😯

Does anyone have a link to an online retailer of the hope one please?

I've got one in my spares box - £6 posted

but you'll need to find it in stock somewhere

Thanks both, had a tenner knocking about in paypal so I have ordered one.

Thanks for replies.....

So, do i understand this correctly....
The lower part of the headset stays at 1-1/2, and the adaptor goes onto the fork steerer?

I dont suppose there's an option for adapting the bottom of the steerer tube to reduce the size by 1/8th inch, so that a standard 1-1/8th headset fits right in there.... is there?

So, i'm running a tapered headtube frame, but using 1-1/8th straight steerer forks... could i get a works component adaptor to tweak the head angle at all... seems confusing from their site.

thanks for the link @welshfarmer

Very confusing! I would think, given the options on the site it must be possible if you know what you need. Worth giving them a call??
