It is ages since I had to fit a head set and feel a bit lost with the new sizes. Anyone expert enough to point me in the right direction.
I have measured the top bore of the headtube 41.9mm with a 3mm recess bore. Bottom bore 51.8mm with 7.5mm recess bore. See pics. Had a look at the Hope size guide, but could not match anything. Charge say use an FSA set, but the one recommended takes a tapered steerer and I have a straight 1 1/8th steerer.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks

Recently done this with Cane Creek. Top and Bottom are different headsets so you cant buy one and it fits both parts. I bought the following:
