Customer Reviews

Hope 1.5" Headset Reducer Crown Converter is rated 4.5 out of 5 by 10.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Does the job nicely. Wanted to reuse some straight Kinesis 1 1/8 carbon disc forks on a Planet X London road frame with a tapered headtube. Mounted the crown reducer then the tapered crown. Job done no squeaking. Saved the need to buy a new set of forks. Money well spent.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works a treat I fitted an old fork to a new road bike frame I got cheap. The frame needs an integrated headset and a taper steerer but the fork was a straight 1 1/8" steerer. This adaptor collar slips onto the 1 1/8" steerer in place of the lower crown race and leaves a straight 1 1/4" diameter, allowing the use of a lower bearing of that size. You will also need the correct headset to fit the frame, but this part should work with any make of compatible headset, not just hope. I used a lifeline one. I popped the fork in the freezer and the adaptor in the oven (180c) for an hour, it slipped on no problem by hand (with oven gloves!) Otherwise you'll need a headset press to fit it.

Q & A

Permanent fit?

Hi, Does this fit onto the fork stem or as I suspect straight into the head? I ask as I may want to upgrade my forks to a 1.5 tapered at a later date but for now want to use my 1/8 forks. Fitting into the stem looks pretty permanent which may mean this is not practical. Any thoughts or advice on this please?
Asked by: Shadbolt83
You will need to install a crown race on to your fork steerer tube and then this will sit on top. The headset bearing will then sit on top of this. This is not permanent and can be removed at any time.

Will this work to convert any 1.5" tapered headset?

I've just acquired a Lapierre Zesty frame which happens to have a tapered head tube. The frame came with an FSA headset (1.5" to 1" 1/8th tapered), but the forks I want to use have a straight 1" 1/8th steerer. Does this reducer work with any fork crown / lower bearing cup or will it only fit specifically with Hope headsets?
