[#11069698]

I’ve just purchased a pinnacle Ramin 2 from evans

https://www.evanscycles.com/pinnacle-ramin-2-2020-mountain-bike-EV365763

If you look at the pictures the top part of the headset is huge and taking up much needed room (to keep the bars low enough and have a Mac ride spacer installed)

If there anyway I can swap the top part of the headset only or do I need to install a new one altogether?
I think it’s a fsa no 9 Currently installed

Thanks

FSA headsets have a few options depthwise for the top cover, we've probably got one in our workshop spares box if google doesn't turn anything up.

Thanks for your reply. So are the top caps pretty universal then? I cannot see anything for a no9

That'd be far too easy. Just had a quick look at Windwave's site and they're not listing anything, so i'd guess they're specced with complete headsets by manufacturers. If I remember, i'll check what we have on Monday, if there's anything suitable then it's yours.

Checked today, and i've got one that looks to be the same depth as yours, sorry.

Here?

Sorry. Try that.
Bike specs suggest something else as a headset but this is FSA no.9 top cap options.
