braailegend Posted September 9, 2013 Share 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.

G00SE Posted September 10, 2013 Share Cane creek angle set maybe. Don't know if it will work if you're using 1 1/8 to 1.5 adapter though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

Should work a treat :whistling: Lol... 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruz Addict Posted September 10, 2013 Share 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.
