Hope sealed Headset are good for the price. Had one on my Orange. Now running a Chris King on the Yeti and that is really nice. Is the Big Hit standard headset? Its not internal or tapered? |

Same as my Yeti. I run a Chris King and think its a really nice headset and is in gold too!!! I think Cane Creek and Dia Tech also do tapered from memory! |

Forgive my ignorance, however, are you running Bomber 55's on your Big Hit? If so when you take them out the frame is the steerer tube tapered? I didn't think they did the 55 with a tapered steerer, and if not you will need a 1 1/8th headset with a 1.5 to 1 1/8th reducer bottom cup!! |

Thanks for that. The bomber are normal tube 1 1/8.i head a boxxer 2009 on it and the also are not tapeer tube. So the headset you post should be ok. Is it? |

No it wouldn't. I went on Eccles saying it was tapered but noticed that its running what i thought were straight 1 1/8 steerer forks which would mean the bottom cup on the above headset would be too big! I'm not sure if they do a reducer spacer or whether there is a different headset available! Will have a look. If you get a chance you want a 1 1/8 headset with the bottom cup being a 1.5 to 1 1/8 reducer fitment and then you can run your normal 1 1/8 steerer forks. Does that make sense? hahaa |
