New bike has an integrated headset with a 1.5" lower race, does anyone make a version for 1.1/8 steerers?
I could use the hope adapter, but it's a carbon steerer and the last time i used one of those it was so tight it bent getting it off (despite being a thick lump of aluminium), so I'd rather something that didn't require hammering on quite so hard!
So are you looking for a reducer for the bottom so you can run straight steerer 1 1/8th forks or simply a normal tapered integrated headset (basically no cups but bearings and a crown race and top cover)
I had a 'mare trying to work out what bearings I needed after mine last 150 miles. I needed "campy" bearings so I ended up going with this as a cheap temporary solution

Yep, that's the headset standard, but does anyone do that, with a 1.1/8 crown race?
I just bought an FSA one from Planet x, it comes with an over sized race and they sell a 1 1/8 one for about £8.
