dezmtber Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 http://www.hopetech.com/page.aspx?itemID=SPG134 The tech docs on hopes site will give you the measurements you need to get the right spares. I think a regular 1.1/8 hope crown race will fit your headset and help seal it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.KYDD Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 You need to find out the lower angle on the bearing cartridge. They are normally either 36deg or 45deg - you need a race which matches this angle and not all headsets are the same. Many Cane Creeks are 36, while FSA (TH Industries bearings) tend to be 45deg. The angles are normally printed on the outside of the bearing. Get that info, and then any 1 1/8th crownrace with the matching angle will be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harmertrials Posted April 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Chain reaction cycles. I might have a crown race spare from a sky headset if you need me to have a look http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=71610 Is that the one? Doesn't state the angle of it. It'd be ace if you could have a look as it's the only thing I'm lacking from a complete build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
