It's strong enough for downhill use, yet still light enough for cross-country, this Hope Conventional Headset includes custom-made stainless steel bearings (which are replaceable). The cups, taper ring and crown race (which is split for easy installation and removal) are all machined from 2014 T6 aluminium. It is also possible to fit a standard 1.1/8" steerer using an additional conversion crown (sold separately). All Hope headsets come complete with the Head Doctor. This Hope EC34 Headset also has advanced sealing that's achieved through an adjustable taper ring cover and integrated rubber seal. The bearings also incorporate their own sealing and are made from stainless steel to resist corrosion - a real advantage over a conventional steel bearing.
