Hope Pick n Mix Headsets (Top Cup)Part of the Hope Pick N Mix headset family, this top cup is a replacement for the upper part of your headset. Coming in a multitude of sizes to suit many brands of bikes whilst catering for both standard 1 1/8” and 1 1/2” steerers.A couple of things to remember though - Hope doesn't necessarily range a pair of headset cups to fit your exact bike, you may need to buy two specific sized cups separately. Hope has 4 common ‘off the shelf’ combinations and a further 18 ‘Pick n Mix’ options. There are other styles, types and fittings out there. The first thing to remember is that you need accurate dimensions if you are at all unsure of what type you need.The second point to remember is that unfortunately there is no ‘standard’ - OK, we have the dimension 1 1/8”, which covers the majority of headsets now, but as far as Integral, integrated etc...these are simply terms used by different manufacturers to determine what they consider that style to be. Measure, check and measure again.One thing that is common throughout the Hope range is the quality of materials used to manufacture them, in their Barnoldswick Factory, the quality of the custom made stainless steel bearings and the time taken to hand assemble each and every one before it leaves, on its way to you.Features: Cup Material: Aluminium Bearing Type: Fully sealed cartridge bearings with stainless steel ball bearings Steering Tube Size: 1.1/8" or 1.5” Style: Integral, Integrated, TraditionalBuy Hope Components from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
