Giant OD2- replacement non OD2 fork

[mr636]

Hi folks,

So im changing out the fork on my Trance.
Its currently OD2, and the new one obviosuly isnt.
Im told its just a matter of a different top headset bearing or something and a new stem??

can anyone link me to what i would need?

Thanks!

New top headset and stem.
Doing the same thing to my giant, the head-tube ID is 44mm up top so you just need a standard headset to fit that (the steerer is 1 1/8" up the top). Semi integrated is the term to look for.

Something like this is the cup and bearing you need.

Or search for the SHIS code : ZS44/28.6

You'll also need the necessary top bearing cover & spacers too.

ah, good point! Hadnt thought about that.

Thanks for everything so far.

This headset will contain everything you need except stem & spacers. :smile: All Giant-branded headsets are made by TH Industries, who produce FSA (they're FSA's parent company) & some Cane Creek headsets.

So, in theory, this would work??

That would do the job too.

I'd be buying the torpedo 7 one.. Looks like it come with star fangled nut and bolt too... And cheaper is always better.
