Hi

I am very confused in trying to buy a headset for my new frame. If I had purchased the bike built it would have come with a FSA orbit 1.5 zero stack internal cup for tapered head tube with 30mm shim stack.

I am buying the same forks as the original build but I don't want FSA, I would rather have cane creek or hope.

Just not sure what the technical stuff means.

Any help would be appreciated.

I think it would be a 44/56 but you really need to check with where ever you bought the frame from...

Just measure across the centre, going to be 49mm or 56mm and I suggest the top would be 44mm...

I found something on the usa website that talks about the geometry being 120mm for the headtube?
