you cant run the head docter with the sloped top cap, just star fangled . . . do you not remeber riding joshs echo long with team forks? he had not problems using a tryall and viz rims. Oh and the in built booster is ace, maybe a bit too stiff ! the control booster will fit on a worn tyre but is pointless on a team/control etc for a headeset id go for a [pig pro, or a king at £70 on ebay ive found the hope headsets smooth but dent easily are a bit of hassle sometimes. i havent needed to touch my king ever.
