Does anyone know where i can buy a headset crown reducer for a FSA GRAVITY headset?
Im wanting to use my 1 1/8th forks on my new frame which has a tapered headtube and has come with a brandnew FSA GRAVITY headset...
Cheers in advance
Hope sell a crown race reducer that works perfectly. Use the 1.5" crown race from your headset over the top of the Hope reducer

+1, I've just done exactly that.

I was told by windwave that the part no for a reducer crownrace to suit gravity dx pro is 160-5464.
Have just ordered one from ukbikestore and am keeping my fingers crossed 😆
HOPE HS136 is the part you want

heres mine in action
Bit confused now...
Burt,that looks like you have changed the lower cup?
Im just wanting to find a crown race to fit my 1 1/8 forks to my FSA GRAVITY DX PRO 1.5 lower headset..i can find anywhere that stocks them??
Jimmy that wouldn,t be the tomac frame would it? mine arrived today and i have same issue
Good guess!
Do you know what diameter the front mech is on the tomac supermatic 120, peasant?
Jimmy, afraid not i brought the snyper
ok, no probs!
that is a 1.5 lower cup with 1 1/8 fork steerer. mine came with a gravity dx, changed the bottom cup for hope setup.
Ok i get it..
Will a HOPE crown reducer sit ok(will it have the same angle profile) under a FSA 1.5 crown race then?
It's basically a top hat shape, sized to fit onto your 1 1/8" fork crown, with an outside diameter sized to take your 1.5" crown race.Your headset will, effectively, see a 1.5" tapered fork when it's fitted.
New supermatic here with 1 1/8" steerer too...which solution worked guys?

Mine 😀 Arrived in post this morning. Went for an automatic just stripping my Kona at the moment.
The hope reducer turned up in the post this morning...but my FSA race crown doesnt fit over the hope reducer? it seems like it needs about 1mm off the diameter. Has anyone else had this? is it worth putting a split in the FSA crown race??
BTW. I cannot wait to get my SUPERMATIC built up...
Your fsa crown race should be a push fit onto the hope part. The hope reducer should have a diameter the same as a 1.5" steerer...
I think its just a bit tight to be honest, im going to emery cloth it a bit to try and make it easier to slide over!
I think there is a whole reduced headset for sale in Classifieds. HTH
