sorry if this has already been done.
can anyone tell me what headset parts i'm going to need to install forks with a standard 1 1/8th steerer to a frame with tapered headtube ?
I'm going to go the hope pick and mix route but on the CRC site they list a 'Hope Tapered 1.5" Reducer Crown' . will i need one of these as well as the cups ??
thanks in advance....
hora was just asking about something similar the other day. Have a look at his thread

you could try giving UKbikestore a call as they are normally very knowlegable on what you would need.
[edit] what frame is it for? [/edit]
I presume its std or semi-integral/Zero Stack not integrated?
What frame is it?
If above you need a reducer crown then fir the 1.5 lower cup and the 1 1/8 upper cup (weather STD external cup or semi-integrated)
just bought a yeti asr-5 frame
not recieved it yet so cant measure the internal diameters
Looks like - std cups on the picture so:
[b]Hope[/b]
Top: 1.1/8" - Traditional 33.9mm
Bottom - 1.5" - 1.1/8" - Step Down 49.57mm
however if you go to Cane Creek you can find it out theirs:
[b]
Top Headset:[/b]
SHIS:EC34 - 1-1/8" Traditional Threadless
[b]
Bottom Headset:[/b]
SHIS:EC49/30 - 1.5" Traditional to 1-1/8" Conversion
SHIS:ZS49/30 - 1.5" Traditional to 1-1/8" Conversion

thanks for the input folks,
much appreciated
If stuck give ukbikestore a call (assuming you'd order from them) 😉
I found them to be quick and knowledgeable as well on the subject.
