• Indeed, fugio and pelago rasket.

    Was going to run the fugio with my straggler fork for van-san but although it exists on the surly midnight special (I think it’s that one, they all look the same), I can’t find a 44mm > 1 1/8 external cup lower headset.

    Thought the Fyxation looked perfect but no, would maybe be ok with a pizza rack but each leg has a 3kg weight limit, not sure if that means 1kg per boss?

    Might just take the cdf with straggler fork and save the fugio for when I get back.

  • If I’m not mistaken 44mm external headset’s are generally for tapered forks (EC44/40), for 1-1/8” forks you use a ZS44/30 which doesn’t have the external cup as it isn’t needed.

    If you want the external cup and to use a straight steerer you’ll need to use the EC44/40 cup - usually designated for tapered steerers - and a 1-1/8” to 1.5” crown race adapter (such as the Hope HS136)

  • You are correct, but the lower I described exists on the midnight special. Unless they’ve used a hope adapter.
