Hey guys I am just about to dive into the world or 1.5" steerers with a Transition Bottlerocket and 2-step Totems on the way!
Unfortunately I can't decide on what headset and stem I want slash need so I wondering if anyone had any experience with them. There is only a small amount of 1.5 stuff out there so it is between a Funn gripper and Raceface Diablous stem (I get the impression the raceface is meant to be better but I'm not huge on the flames graphics!).
As for a headset the only models I can find on the net are Fire Eye Iris Orbiter 1.5 (which I know nothing about), FSA Pig DH Pro 1.5 (is the cheapest), FSA Xtreme Pro 1.5 and Cane Creek Double X. I'm not really sure if the Xtreme is worth the $100 premium and I have heard there is also an 1.5" version of the FSA Orbit but I can't find it for sale.
What are the differences between the FSA headsets in practical terms? Also has anyone had experience with the two stems or the fire eye and cane creek headsets?
Thanks for any help, I can't wait to get this bike built up and I want to make sure everything on it is going to do it justice!
Cheers
