Ok, I'm normally not one to give up on Google searching but this one got me. Need help folks!
Got a Lapierre XR929 frameset and need to stick a new headset in it. [url= http://www.lapierrebicycles.com/2014-bikes-mountain-cross-country-race-xr-929 ]Spec says[/url] stock headset is "CANE CREEK 40 Series 44/28.6 I 55/40 TAPERED" and I need to fit a fork with tapered steerer (Fox 29er CTD Evo).
To put it bluntly, what do I need here? Something along [url= http://www.tredz.co.uk/.FSA-SX-Pro-Internal-MTB-Headset_30768.htm ]these[/url] lines?
The 44/28.6 55/40 got me.
Steerer is fairly cut as well (2nd hand) so low profile is welcome. Oh, and if it can be red and less than £50 it'd be great. 🙂
Thanks!

You need to check the head tube to see how far the cups can be inserted too as that FSA one you linked to seems to have a deep inset.
The hope ones are around 9mm inset.

The 44/28.6 55/40 got me
A 44/28.6 top cup allows a 28.6 mm (~1.125") steerer to be used in a 44 mm ID head tube
A 55/40 lower cup allows a 40 mm (~1.5") steerer to be used in a 55 mm ID head tube so what you have are typical cups for a Lapierre/Scott 44-55 mm tapered headtube
Hope type 2 top cup and type G lower cup

Brilliant, thanks a lot.
As far as I can see, [url= http://www.bike-discount.de/en/buy/ritchey-superlogic-headset-press-fit-zs44-zs55-tapered-162357 ]This looks like the best deal at the moment[/url]. Quite a saving on UK prices, also helped by Euro rates. Just thought I'd pop it on here in case anyone else is looking.
