Q: About the head tube and headset
A: The XPZ's head tube size is 1.1/8" on top and 1.5" at the bottom.
     Please refer to below pictures. Despite the head set is nothing too special, it may be difficult to buy this combination from a normal bike shop.  We therefore provide this head set.
     This head set comes with 2 kinds of cone, so that you can use either the conventional fork of   1.1/8" steerer, or the new-type fork of taper steerer (1.5" at the bottom).   If you need this headset, please feel free to let us know.
Please refer to below pictures. Despite the head set is nothing too special, it may be difficult to buy
