I need a headset for my in progres mmmBop build to accommodate my revs with tapered steerer, and the below FSA headset looks suitable - but does anyone know if it comes with associated/required top cap and star nut? The info seems to give no hint
and CRC haven't emialed me back when I queried it.

If we think it doesnt come with the gubbins, can anyone advise on what top cap/star nut I need? Would this be suitable?

    download the FSA 2010 headset book in the tech links sticky in tech section.

    Most aftermarket versions do come with top cap. but CRC....

    Cheers nick, took a look in the tech docs but doesn't seen to mention anything about whether the headset should come with a top cap/star nut or not - I know crc can be a bit hit and miss with oem stuff etc...

    Im in no rush so will take a punt I think and if it doesn't come with a top cap/star nut I can always order one after :)

    just checking it, it says W/O top cap for most of them.

    any 1 1/8th for the tapered steerer.
