Hi Guys,

I've only just got around to building up a Giant Trance 2006 Frame I bought a little while ago. I've just had a set of Marzocchi MX Pros delivered to fit up front which led me to check the headset was complete.

The problem i've had is that somewhere along the line the Crown Race for the Integrated Cane Creek Headset (Original) has gone AWOL!

Now my question to you guys is, will any Crown Race work with the Cane Creek HS or does it need to be a speicifc model? I had a quick google for the model based on the codes on the Headset but couldn't find any reference to it, I'm guessing its a cheapy OE part which they didn't support (Plus its a few years old now)? Maybe a Race designed for one of Can Creek's more recent models might do the job?

Perhaps I'm best of just to get a complete replacement HS and cut my losses? I'm guessing an improper Race could cause problems?

Anyone tried one of these?

I'm at work at the moment but I'm going to post a photo of the offending HS when I get home to see if that helps anyone ID the set, and perhaps someone might have a spare race kicking around they'd like to get shot of? You never know!

Cheers
