Evening all, I currently have a 2021 Cube Analog, manufacturer spec states I have a cube fph863 headset semi integrated.

My steerer is standard 1 1/8 non tapered, will this be an ok direct replacement?

Cheers for any help.

    I don't usually get confused by headsets and I've not looked at Hope's headset types. I'd struggle ordering from that website with their options list.

    Looking at the pic of your bike you definately don't want the 'Traditional' headsets that are pictured in your link.

    You'll require a Hope 'integral' headset.

    The Integral description is just what Hope calls their semi intergrated/zero stack headsets.

    Providing your headtube measures 44mm internal diameter when the old cups are removed you'll require a Hope 'Type 2' top assembly and a Hope 'Type B' bottom assembly:-

    P.S. If you definately want a Hope headset they're great quality, go for it but there are plenty of alternative headsets that will fit too.
