hi all , some of you may know i am building the TANGO TURBO , after a few mock ups i have realized that unfortunately the defy 2 2011 frame is designed for only giant forks as they have a race of sorts built into the profile of the fork and therefore a new headset is not is not supplied with a race, i have some sexy £40 wonder forks from ebay china , but no fork other than giant can fit , unless some amazing genius has fabricated them .

any ideas people ?? as a last resort i can ask an egineering shop make one for £30 .

many thanks

    If I have understood your problem you have new 1 1/8" steer forks and you defy has 1 1/4" lower cup. I think we need to know exactly what headset you have in your defy. I think maybe cranecreek and FSA do a crown race convertors.

    Pop into an LBS that deals with FSA or cranecreek they should be able to order.
