    We have used the Cane Creek one on a couple of our frames which have been good. They were supplied by Specialized but I’m sure they can be purchased off the shelf and are very easy to use.

    Thanks for replies…..

    So, do i understand this correctly….
    The lower part of the headset stays at 1-1/2, and the adaptor goes onto the fork steerer?

    I dont suppose there’s an option for adapting the bottom of the steerer tube to reduce the size by 1/8th inch, so that a standard 1-1/8th headset fits right in there…. is there?

    So, i’m running a tapered headtube frame, but using 1-1/8th straight steerer forks… could i get a works component adaptor to tweak the head angle at all… seems confusing from their site.

    thanks for the link @welshfarmer

    Very confusing! I would think, given the options on the site it must be possible if you know what you need. Worth giving them a call??
