braailegend Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 Im looking for an external reducer (maybe with angle adjust) headset. I have a reducer headset, but need spacing between headtube and shock crown, so that fork can clear downtube. My lyrik hits downtube on Intense 6.6. If anyone knows of anything that may help?? Was looking at these options: CRC seems to be the most vialble option:http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/za/en/nukeproof-warhead-49iets-headset-2012/rp-prod55508 But would really like this headset:http://www.workscomponents.co.uk/15-degree-zs49---ec49---traditional-15-reducer-headset---external-lower-heacup-175-p.asp (still waiting to hear from them, if they can ship to SA) Also willing to trade+cash diff, as I have a normal Canecreek internal headset.

What headtube and steerer do you have? Might have something
braailegend Posted September 9, 2013 Author Posted September 9, 2013 1 1/8" steerer and 1.5" head tube.
braailegend Posted September 10, 2013 Author Posted September 10, 2013 Bump.. for the lunch time slackers
G00SE Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 Cane creek angle set maybe. Don't know if it will work if you're using 1 1/8 to 1.5 adapter though.

Hairy Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 Well I have a 160mm VAN RC2 we can talk of swopping to see if it works for you
G00SE Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 $$$... Ok then... How about some steerer spacers, but put them on the bottom of the steerer and then put the crown race on top of them..... Should work a treat :whistling: Jewbacca 1
droo Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 $$$... A shade under 2k, and the ZS44/EC49 option should work with a CC reducer crown race.

I know ChrisKing has something like that, but I'd rather not, Im pretty big and land even harder, haha As for swopping... I love the feel of the lyric after the ugrade, the damping Insane, yet to bottom shock and its ultra soft for the small stuff. Think Im going to try the nukeProof option, R300 that might just save shock!
Hairy Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 How can you be bored of that fork already?Not bored, it is an excellent fork, just feeling fat and slow so was thinking a slightly lighter fork might help

braailegend Posted September 10, 2013 Author Posted September 10, 2013 Just need to take pics then the Lyrik ad is going up... the question is, is it white, Cant upset my colour scheme
Hairy Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 Just need to take pics then the Lyrik ad is going up...An I know why as a certain, let's call him a gentleman for all intensive purposes, is coming to see a little black and blue frame of yours....don't worry I don't ask/take commission!

Cruz Addict Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 uh i assume by shock you mean fork?they are very different things you know, if your shock has a problem with clearance of the downtube thanks to the headset your frame is broken or the shock is in the wrong place.
