Hi all...been a very naughty boy and splashed out on a Supermatic, this is the frame spec:-

Tapered, Internal Top, External Bottom. Top ID 44mm, Bottom ID 50mm,
Frame standard with FSA headset for tapered steerer

I want to fit plain steerer forks in it...ideally without the fugly Hope lower race...any other options..ideally not at CK prices either, used a ck to fit std 1 1/8 forks to a mates Yeti but that was an external top race so a non starter any way

Any links pointers to a solution welcomed...my heads gone looking at the bewildering array of HS options ๐Ÿ˜ณ

Oh and if anyones after a med Whyte E5 let me know!

[url= http://www.canecreek.com/component-headsets ]Cane Creek - [/url] - your bike's on their headset fit finder thingy. On the model I've got (XXII) the conversion to 1 1/8 is done using the crown race, not the lower cup which is 1.5" id, if that makes sense.

Did your frame come with one of those KCMC anti chain-suck doo-dahs? I bought one and it didn't fit my bike (not a supermatic, which I believe it was specifically designed for).

Drop me a line if your interested in taking it off my hands.
