[Need help] Headset for Genesis High Latitude

[piotr]

Any recommendations on a headset for a Genesis High Latitude (29er 2015) frame? It's an oversized 44mm headtube. I'm not sure what will work. Thanks.

Hope pic n mix is 2 H Just bought them from wiggle as they were running 20% off

As above, the Hope pick and mix are suitable, the top cup Type 2 (Integral) for 1 1/8" steerer and bottom cup Type H (Traditional) for 1.5" steerer. The bottom cup puts the bearing below the head tube and allows the use of a tapered steerer fork.

If you have a straight 1 1/8 steerer fork then the bottom cup to use is Type B (Integral)

Hope have a handy fitting chart which helps with the minefield which is modern bike 'standards'

There are cheaper alternatives but my experience of Hope headsets is that they are fit and forget so well worth the extra cost.
