I'm helping a friend spec out a new SX Trail frame and was wondering if the Fox 36 Float rc2 is available with the tapered (1.5-1.125") steerer tube to go with the SX Trail frame.

If not, what is the preferred headset setup with the tapered head tube frames?

I believe that they are only availible in a 1.5 or 1.1/8. so you would have to run the later with a reducing bottom cup.

they should be available soon from what i have heard.

Headsets are in the Quality and BTI catalogs right now. Anybody should be able to get one for you.

yeah, Fox doesnt make the fork like that. Specialized uses a headset to get the tappered fit

You can order taper steerer Lyriks right now. Fox doesn't currently have these available. As mentioned above, the rumour is they'll be out "soon" but I have been asking around but have yet to hear anything firm.

Shhhhh.......

when I expressed a similar sentement (that the lack of availability of parts is bad for consumers), I got told by numerous monkeys that I was just in-informed/scared/etc......

You mean the Fox that is the same Fox he could run if he had a 1 1/8" headtube isn't available?

Tapered is what onepointfive should have been. All the advantages with normal stems and half as many proprietary headset parts.

Matt Hunter was riding a tapered 36 this summer. Gravity has a line of tapered headsets for 2009. It should all be available soon.
