Optimise your cycling experience with the versatile Hope 1.5 Step Down Headset. This must-have upgrade is designed to adapt a 1.5 headtube, enabling the use of a 1 1/8 fork, thus expanding your compatibility options and giving you greater flexibility when choosing forks.

Key features that make the Hope 1.5 Step Down Headset stand out include:

• Full Stainless steel bearings that are not simply durable but also replaceable, providing longevity to the headset itself
• A split crown race, a thoughtful design that eases installation and removal
• Common parts across the range, enabling a simple, hassle-free replacement of components
• Rebuildable, prolonging product life-cycle well beyond standard expectations
• A sturdy steel head doc bolt on the 1.5" step down
• A low total stack height of 13mm, providing optimal integration with your current bike setup

This headset is also designed to comfortably run alongside the conventional 1 1/8 threadless headset. Its parts - including cups, taper ring, and crown race - are all crafted from machined aluminium, ensuring its feather-light yet robust character.

Its sealing is achieved through an adjustable taper ring cover and an integrated rubber seal. The stainless steel bearings offer superior sealing while resisting corrosion and its by-products more effectively than standard steel bearings.

To conclude, the Hope 1.5 Step Down Headset is the perfect combination of design and durability, making it an ideal choice for those seeking bike enhancement with custom build possibilities and long-lasting usability.
