Voodoo bizango headset

Hi,

Does the Bizango have a tapered steerer/headset?

Doesn't look like it. 1 1/8 according to the detailed specs.
(Disclaimer: But someone on here might know better! Don't rely on me before replacing your forks or whatever you are going to do.)

the fork as stock is a standard 1 1/8 headset, but apparently with a different lower headset cup external to the frame it is possible to run a tapered fork.

The Rookie

It's a stock 44mm semi integrated headset, plain steerer, but yes, as most 44mm head tubes can you can use an external lower cup to fit a tapered steerer (small increase in stack height and raises the front end a little).

So does that mean it still has the stiffness and preciseness of a tapered steerer?

The Rookie

The frame won't be as stiff as if it used a tapered headtube, but overall it will be a stiffer setup (assuming the rest of the fork is as stiff which may or may not be the case) than with a plain steerer.

Will the increase in stack/frame height slacken the head angle too?

The Rookie

By a very small amount yes, but it's only a few mm, probably within the range most people set sag!
