Hi guys, I've just bagged myself a second hand Bfe frame and now I need to get a headset to use my 1 1/8" forks in.

Only one I can find is this Nukeproof, which I think will fit??: [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=85842 ]CRC Link[/url]

Are there any others out there which come well recommended? I'm budgeting around £50

Cheers

I have the 2012 version of the headset you've linked, it's ok for the money, just needed re-greasing after 9 months.
If you already have a star nut and top cap and can stretch the budget to 60, I'd recommend the Hope pick & mix 2H, with a 1.5 to 1 1/8 reducer. I have one on my Soul and it's better sealed than the nukeproof.

I bought the Hope headset and reducer plate with the frame from Cotic. I did scan around before hand, but couldn't find anything suitable and figured it easier to go for the Hope option.

I've got a brand new one of those 44mm 1 1/8th fitment Nukeproof headsets sat in a box in my garage. Might be a bit dusty but its never been fitted to a bike.

You can have it for £27.50 posted if you like?

Paul, not sure how to check your profile...I'd be interested at that price if you could get it posted tomorrow?
