Alrighty, so I've finally gotten around to getting the Boxxer set up nice and proper since I finally got some money, and its hard walking past an unridable bike everyday.

I would like to just run reducers and 1.125 headset if possible. The e13 reducers look like a nice option, but you need to use an IS integrated headset with it?

Simple and cheap (if possible) options are what I am looking for right now.

Also, if there are reducers for 1.5 FSA headsets, that could work also, considering thats whats on the bike right now.

You could get a reducing headset. Cane Creek and CK make them:

Yes the e-13's require a fsa or cane creek 'is' type headset. It is simple and works very well on two of my bikes. You could also just run one of the reducer headsets...cane creek double xc or double xc flush or fsa extreme 1.5r or pig 1.5r will all get it done. If you want cheap, i have a double xc that I pulled from a frame that is just gathering dust if you want it let me know.

King does not make a head set for this application, they do not make any 1.5 sets at all.

I dont think that there is a reducer inner race that will adapt your current set to the fork, although you might call fsa to be sure.

The new syncros headset looks pretty sweet, burly, low stack height
check that out

I have seen people put chris king headsets in reducer cups...

Nicolai makes their Fett Sett with an intregrated 1.5 to 1.125 reduction. There's no need for reducers or anything. Strong but a tad heavy.

Actually if you click the link there's a 1.5 reducer headset made by CK. It's news to me, I thought they were being typical CK and just building the same products that have remained unchanged for the last 10 years.

D'oh, they are 1.25 to 1.125 and 1.125 to 1 reducers not 1.5 to 1.125.

Nevermind I still think CK is a lame-o company to support.
