You sure hope don't do one you need?
have a look at this document for the full range

On page 3 it looks like a 6 for the top and an F for the bottom match your description.

Neil; I've bin using a Hope one in my Cannondale now for a few months, and it's pretty good actually. Well made and worth the money.

It's a reducer one to 1 1/8" though; did you mean a full onepointfive? I think they do one of hose too anyway.

get an across, amazing quality, and not bad prices, they are easily as good as a cris king, and far better quality than the hopes ive had in the past

Can't go wrong with Chris King have had one fitted to my Nomad for over two years and have only cleaned and regreased once only because I thought I should. Have never had a problem with mine working loose.

Ah ha! thanks Rusty. I looked on the site and could find 1 1/8 external, and internal, 44mm internal and external but not the 49mm top races...my bad.

right then, trip to next door neighbour's LBS to put a few quid in his pocket tomorrow then....He stocks Hope lights so must have an account.

Now to find a use for 45 quid of CRC vouchers
