Angle adjust Headset to fit 1 1/8 forks

Nobby Nick

I,m trying to buy a angle adjust headset that fits a tapered headtube (44mm x 56mm) with a crown race to fit a 1,1/8 fork, I`ve had a look at Cane Creek and FSA offerings but no mention of 1,1/8 crown race availability,any ideas?

Not totally clear on what you want, but sounds like you are looking for a reducer headset that is also and angleset?

Good find, but £80 for a headset. Ouch. (Obviously I'm not a Hope/CK kind of guy.)

Can recommend Works Components, got 2 of theirs in bikes at the moment. Not cheap but very effective- tbh I don't think I've bought a better upgrade.

Only downside is that they seem to go through top bearings relatively quick- I've a feeling water pools on top of the flat "cap" of the headset cup and soaks past the bearings, but that's really just a guess. Still, only headsets that I go through tops faster than bottoms (and they use quality Cane Creek bearings)

How about an offset bush in the rear suspension to drop the back end and slacken the head angle?

I think On One have the works components 1 or 2 degree slack set hadsets on sale currently - I think it's what you mean anyway.
