Hope 1.5" Step Down ZS49 Headset
Self explanatory. Takes 1.5” headtube (only, not a Cannondale) down to use a 1 1/8” fork. Perfect for the big freeride bikes where a triple clamp fork is being used. 113g. 13mm stack height.
Features:
- Full stainless steel bearings (replacable)
- Split crown race
- Common parts throughout the range
- All parts available as spares and fully rebuildable
- Steel hed 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 it’s 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
