44mm head tube and a normal straight steerer fork. The head angle on the shova is 69° which is too steep for what i wanted. So i got 2 44mm diameter cups machined that have a 34mm hole in them offset by 3mm and angled at 2,5°.

So pop them into the headtube then run a standard headset and there you go, 66,5° head angle. You could do it for any OS head tube with a standard fork, the shorter the head tube the more angle you can run. Got them machined by kd engineer in stickland for 900 bucks
