Following on from the thread the other day about being able to fit a tapered fork to a frame with semi-integrated headset using a Hope H cup got me thinking about trying it.

My frame is set up for 100mm forks and I want to try 120mm forks, so would that difference equate to aprox 1 degree slacker?

What is the stack height of the H cup and would that work out to 0.5 degree as well?

TIA

I don't know the exact answer but expect about 1/2" stack height.

Reckon you'd be pretty close with your estimate of 1.5 degrees change for adding 20mm travel plus the external lower cup.

I think the Hope technical doc's on their site give dimensions?
