Im thinking of ordering a 2014 Giant next month but not sure about the stupid 1.25 - 1.5 headset. Can you get reducers to fit a normal tapered steerer?
Im possibly going for a Trance SX frame set but not if I cant get forks for it.

    The frame won't come with a headset, correct? If so there's no issue, it's a standard tapered head tube, 44/56 IIRC and you can use any headset that will fit. AFAIK the only difference with the overdrive 2 headsets is the upper bearing is smaller, so the headtube is no different to any other.

    Yep that's what I thought to. You should be able to use any tapered zero stack headset in the frame.

    I alway thought it was an odd head tube. If I can fit a normal one thats good

    Use the Cane Creek headset finder to make sure. I'm confident it'll return back with a ZS44/56 headset or similar.
