hey all,
I'd have thought this would have been done to death by now, but I can only find a few semi-related threads via search.
I need to find a 1.5 to 1.125" reducer headset - i.e. to fit a standard 1.125" fork in a 1.5" headtube. There seems to be very little choice out there, unless I'm missing something.
The only two I've been able to find are the Hope one and a Token one. The Token is a little cheaper, at £40ish quid.
Are there any others I should look at?
I've also been looking at the shims available from FSA and Santa Cruz - anyone got any experience with these? My concerns would be that it would be a real pain to try to tap the headset out without also taking the shims out and having the headset cups and the shims locked together forever more...
Thanks

Or Hope.
Used both, both ace
I have an FSA Big Pig R which was under £40 from CRC. I even managed to easily get a 1.5" lower crown race as a spare so I can use the same headset with tapered and non-tapered forks
Yeah, i've just today bought a FSA The Big Pig R for my Mmmbop. £35.99 from Je James.
Betd engineering make some step down inserts for £25 which means of course you can use any 'normal' 11/8 headset and aren't limited to the step down variety.
