Headset standards driving me crazy

[NYCfixie]

Exactly, the OP needs 1.5 to 1.25 (33 crown race) that cane creek is for 1.5 to 1.125 (30 crown race).

You have an integrated tapered headtube. This is slightly different than the integrated headtube. the bearings are Campy/Columbus sized. Slightly larger. Normal is 41.0. the upper is 41.8 but lists as 42mm

If you have a 1 1/4" fork steerer crow, use the conversion one.

The ones I posted are correct from Cane Creek.

from the website:
http://www.whiteind.com/headset-bottom

Steer size bottom:
1 1/8" 1 1/4"* 1 1/2
* adapter crown race ring may be used for configurations

Do they actually offer the crown race adapter plate? I could not find it on their website.

Correct. I clicked the wrong button. But yeah, they can absolutely do what he needs. He does need the reducer base plate(crown race) tho.

Simple part to make, glad someone has seen fit to make it.

Well, maybe. WI site is next to un-navigable.

It dawned on me that I actually didn’t realize the difference btw a 1 1/4 and 1 1/2 taper when I was looking for a thru-axle fork to replace my tapered enve fork with QR. seems such a tiny difference that I almost thought it was a typo, but it seems that 1 1/4 is going extinct?! My desalvo didn’t have too many affordable options; I too bought a 15mm carbon Kona that came highly recommended, but lacks the coolness of a Parlee or an ENVE.

Glad you are sorted out!

I have used a Chris King 1.5" to 1.25" reducer crown race/plate with an ENVE 1.25" taper fork with a 1.5" bottom headset. I think Parlee forks have integrated race/plate so I am not sure if you could install one.

You need a tapered IS (Integrated Standard) headset for your rig.
