    Recently purchased a 2014 orange 5 frame but it came with no headset, I have some marzocchi 350 forks with a tapered steerer i would like to use but no sure on what headset to get.

    Can it just be a standard tapered headset or does it need to have an external stack in order to fit this?

    thanks

    Looks like a ZS 49/28.6 and an EC 49/40

    What rocketman says. I’ve ordered the wrong headset combination *twice* now (once for a crush, once for a five…the wrong sized ones are still sitting in the parts box…), the headset codes on the Orange website haven’t really worked.

    These hope cups pressed in nicely, from my last CRC order:

    top: 1.1/8″, ZS49/28.6 – Type 4
    bottom: 1.5″, EC49/40 – Type F

    Thanks, i’ll probably just get one of those ordered unless i can find a similar bottom cup for less, there’s an evans just round the corner so hopefully they can price match. I’ve got a hope top cup, just nothing to knock it in with really
