CHAINGUIDE HEADSET OPTIONS
On some Scale Carbon models you will find a chainguide system to support the
shifting performance when using 2 chainring cranksets.
3 different mounting plates are available to match the different sizes of the outer
chainrings (39/42/45T).
Please note the max. tightening torque of 3Nm/26 in/lbs on the mounting screw of
the plate.
Scale Carbon features a tapered headset and fork steerer system to match with
semi-integrated headsets of the “50-61”mm range.
The steerers of those forks are tapered from 1.5” to 1 1/8”.
This bigger diameter of the fork steerer as well as on the frame headtube helps to
increase the stiffness and handling of the bike.
It is also possible to use forks with a standard 1 1/8” steerer tube when using a reducer
headset such as e.g.
Ritchey WCS Carbon Zero Tapered PF 50-61mm 18mm UD for 1 1/18 fork
Ritchey WCS Carbon Zero Tapered PF 50-61mm 18mm UD
Ritchey PRO Tapered PF 50-61mm 12.9mm
