I've just bought a 2nd hand Giant NRS Frame. From what the Interwebnet shows me, it's pre 2004 but I'm not exactly sure of it's exact year or dirivative.

Now, I've tried fitting the FSA Orbit Integrated headset from the XTC's frame, but the depth of the bearing cups is much deeper than the cups that came out of the NRS (It's didn't come with a headset, but the bearing cups were still in the frame).

The bearing cups I took out of the NRS frame are approximately 7.5mm in depth (incuding the angled bit).

Soooo, can someone recommend me an integrated headset that will fit this frame?

I think a Cane Creek ZS-2 may fit, but would like some clarification first.

    The cane creek does have a lower inset depth. (the Orbit is about 12mm iirc)

    i have had the same problems.

    there is a Tange one but that is about 8 and a bit mm like the Hope one.
