Im picking up my 2011 36 1.5 tapered Float for my BottleRocket i have a question on the headset i am going to run a chris king it looks like i might have to buy 2 headsets the Devolution for the top and a 1.5 no thread set for the bottom?. since the head tube on the BR is 1.5 all the way through? or is there another Chris king headset that will work with just one? This is my first bike i have built up so i am not sure?
1.5 Head Tube 1.5 Tapered Fork Headset question?

As far as I know, there is no standard King model that will work for that. You may be able to order the parts separately through a shop, but I do not know. Ask whoever you want to order from to find out. If that won't fly, then I know other companies (Cane Creek probably being the best for you) allow you to purchase upper and lower assemblies separately. That would also be probably about 60% of the cost of a King if that matters.
I'm not a mechanic but wouldn't this work?

But then again, I'm no mechanic.
Hey, did I actually help somebody?
I've had sealed bearing King, and Creek. I like Creek's price.
