Hello.

Im am switching to a 2013 Zesty 514 frame from my 2010 one due to warranty replacement. I have this CK headset a friend has sold me :http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=59290

The forks are standard 1 1/8th. Would this hope adapter allow me to run the headset without the need to buy the devolution crown race for twice the price :http://www.jejamescycles.co.uk/hope-tapered-headset-item171193.html?gclid=CIOJ9tXD5rACFQQhtAodbG3ymw#info

Its hard to tell from the picture whether it fits on the forks and the crown sits on it or if it fits in the frame and a 1 1/8 headset sits inside it.

Thanks

    PS: just to double check, that is the right type of headset integrated wise? The one it normally comes with is aPT F11 Tapered 1 1/8-1.5

    Yes put that hope steerer tube adaptor on your forks first then fit the headset's crown race over the top.

    The chris king headset is a zero stack or internal headset. Not integrated. an integrated headset has no cups as they are built into the frame.
