Hiya all
As above really. Does anyone know which headset manufacturers make reduction headsets? I have a Cannondale Prophet with a 1.5" headtube, but I'm running 1&1/8" forks. I know FSA do, but it weighs a ton - anybody else?
Thanks
Greg
cane creek do one to IIRC
marzocchi (and others) do reducers cups that you run with 1 1/8" headsets too - I ran one of those for a year or so with no problems, as an alternative
Im looking at the same problem as you greg. From what i can tell any 1.5" reducer headset should fit but if its got deep insertion cups (oo-er) it might not fit properly. I was looking at the sunline one on [url= http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/cycle/7/Sunline_V-One_Reducer_Headset/5360035295/ ]wiggle[/url], tho CRC do a couple of other but they are around £40+. The reducer cups look ok but i dont want to buy a headset on top of buying the reducer cups.
What's this weighs a ton bollox? Its a prophet, not a scalpel.
I have an orbit extreme pro 1.5 on my gemini, works well with a lyrik.
found this greg. seems like itd do the job if you already have a headset.
