2013 Rockhopper 29er Headset for tapered fork?

Rich_H

Hi

I have a 2013 Rockhopper Comp 29er and I've bought some tapered Reba's for it. I've booked it into the lbs for fitting next week and the guy asked me if I had a preference for the headset. In all honesty, I hadn't even thought about it. I've had a search around the web and am none the wiser. I've used the Crane Creek headset finder:
http://canecreek.com/headset-fit-finder
and it says no matches found.

I found a post that stated that these fit the Specialised Camber Comp:
Cane Creek 40.IS52 Bottom Headset Lower Part 1.5 Inches - IS52/40
Cane Creek 40.IS42 Short Cover Top Headset Upper Part 1 1/8 Inches - IS42/28.6

And if you look at the headset descriptions for the Camber and Rockhopper on here, they are similar:

So, does anyone know:
a) What headset parts are actually required?
b) Can anyone recommend some part numbers?

Thank you

Let the bike shop take care of it.

The bike probably already has the right headset on it for a tapered steering tube and the current 1 1/8" fork is using a reducer crown race .

You might just need a new 1.5" crown race for the new tapered fork.
