Hi all,
Been reading as much as I can on here about the 7 but I can't find what I am looking for.
I'm thinking of buying a medium 7 and running with a Fox float 160. My question is what steerer tube would be better i.e. tapered or not..? I just can't decide if to stick to 1 1/8 or the 1 1/8 - 1.5.
On the same note what headset to go with. I see you can get headsets to run the tapered forks or there are adapters to run full 1 1/8 forks.
What do other 7 riders run..?
Your help is very much appreciated.

The tapered fork steerer is meant to add lot of stiffness to this area, so unless it costs more I would go for it.
There are headsets and adaptors for all combos out there.0 -
Thanks for your reply. Just didn't think the tapered steerer was common and I'm having trouble finding a decent headset to match.
Was thinking of Hope but they don't do a 1.5 tapered lower cup inc bearing.
Only really seen Chris King and Cane Creek at the mo.
What are your thoughts on the Floats v's Talas..?
