The Hope 1/5 to 1 1/8 step down headset takes a 1.5 headtube (not Cannondale) to use a 1 1/8 fork (low stack).
- Full stainless steel bearings (replacable)
- Split crown race
- Common parts throughout the range
- All parts available as spares and fully rebuildable
- Steel head doc bolt on the 1.5" step down
- Total stack height: 13mm
- To run alongside the conventional 1 1/8 threadless headset
- The bearings themselves are STAINLESS STEEL and are replaceable
- The cups, taper ring and crown race (which is now split for easy installation and removal) are all machined aluminium
- Sealing is achieved through an adjustable taper ring cover and integrated rubber seal
- The bearings also incorporate their own sealing and being made from stainless steel resist corrosion and its by-products much better than a conventional steel bearing
- An aftermarket crown race is also available which has 3mm of extra height built into it, which again can be used to help with clearance
