Has any one used hope hs136 on any other make of 1.5 inch bottom headset bearing/cup?
not sure if it only fits hope parts or if it will fit other makes.

    Its not really a reducer, more of a fattener. Never tried it, but having seen them on forks I don't see there should be any issue in using it with another headset.

    I've ordered one to give it a go, if it doesn't I only need the hope bottom cup so worth a go!

    It could do as that spacing for the seals etc can and does vary a lot on different designs.

    Result! It worked, hope 1.5 to 1.125 reducer fits in an Fsa 1.5 bottom bearing! That's saved a few quid!
