Running a 1 1/8" Steerer Tube in a Tapered Headtube

[Luke_Donno]

Hey everyone
Anyone got any advice as to what would be the best parts to use to run a Straight 1 1/8" steerer in a tapered headtube?
I have seen a few things such as reduces and different headsets, but would like to know exactly what i would need.

From what I have been told you need these: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=70725 item : 269846 top cup

http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=70725 item : 269854 bottom cup.

I am about to do the same so I emailed crc and that was what they recommend.

Your need a 1.5 to 1.125 reducer for the lower part. So, you can either buy a taper-specific reducer headset, or mix-and-match the top-cup of a standard 1.125 headset and the bottom cup of a 1.5 reducer headset.
