    Ok, I’m normally not one to give up on Google searching but this one got me. Need help folks!

    Got a Lapierre XR929 frameset and need to stick a new headset in it. Spec says stock headset is “CANE CREEK 40 Series 44/28.6 I 55/40 TAPERED” and I need to fit a fork with tapered steerer (Fox 29er CTD Evo).

    To put it bluntly, what do I need here? Something along these lines?

    The 44/28.6 55/40 got me.

    Steerer is fairly cut as well (2nd hand) so low profile is welcome. Oh, and if it can be red and less than £50 it’d be great. :)

    Thanks!

    You need to check the head tube to see how far the cups can be inserted too as that FSA one you linked to seems to have a deep inset.
    The hope ones are around 9mm inset.

    EDIT

    Hope linky

    The 44/28.6 55/40 got me

    A 44/28.6 top cup allows a 28.6 mm (~1.125″) steerer to be used in a 44 mm ID head tube

    A 55/40 lower cup allows a 40 mm (~1.5″) steerer to be used in a 55 mm ID head tube so what you have are typical cups for a Lapierre/Scott 44-55 mm tapered headtube

    Hope type 2 top cup and type G lower cup

    As far as I can see, This looks like the best deal at the moment. Quite a saving on UK prices, also helped by Euro rates. Just thought I’d pop it on here in case anyone else is looking.
