Hi,

I have gone for a new frame and would like to fit a slack set head set to it.

Its an orange clockwork 120 with ZS44/ ZS44 tapered steerer tube and I will be running a 1 1/8" straight steerer tube fork.

I can't find any slack sets that fit the bottom zs44 cup. Is there some way round this? Its this (from oranges website)

44mm Parellel Tapered ZS44/28.6|EC44/40 (Hope 2H)

Cheers

Martin

You need enough space to move the bearings to get the angle adjustment. It might be possible with EC44 above and ZS44 below or vice versa and it’ll definitely work with EC44 top and bottom. ZS top and bottom gives no room to offset the bearings.

All three will work, just different angle adjustments. I’d go all the way to -2 if I were you.
