Headset help !!

[HB2210]

+1 Pay a few quid more and get from the LBS (preferably a Giant dealer)

I don't think headset and groupset have anything much to do with one another. I have the same headset as a stock bike on my Genesis build but a completely different groupset (SRAM vs 105)

Do you not know exactly what frame you have? No stickers?

No it just says compact tcr, nothing else apart from the serial number ... Oh and made in the Netherlands ..

Did you get it all checked over before purchase being carbon and second hand and all?

It's not carbon, it's the Alluxx frame and yeah was checked

Ah ok cool

I'd still go to a Giant dealer to make sure you get all the right funny bits like headset and bottom bracket etc

Assuming that fits your frame you'd just need some spacers to get your stem at the right height.

That's what I'm not sure of ... The fit ..
