The Hope Pick N Mix Headset Bottom Cup is engineered for mountain bikers and cycling enthusiasts who require a precision-fit solution for custom frame and fork configurations. This modular component allows riders to mix and match specific cups to achieve perfect geometry compatibility, offering exceptional durability through CNC-machined 2014 T6 aluminum and premium stainless steel bearings. While the modular system provides unmatched versatility, it requires a precise understanding of your frame's internal standards before purchase to ensure correct compatibility.

IS refers to an Integrated headset, 52 represents the 52mm headtube diameter, and 40 refers to the 40mm fork crown race seat.
This cup is compatible with frames using the 52mm Integrated standard, regardless of the frame brand.
Yes, Hope manufactures these cups to be serviceable, and individual replacement bearings are available.
Yes, a proper headset press tool is highly recommended to ensure the cup is seated square and straight.
No, the 40mm designation is specifically for tapered steerer tubes.
Remove the bearing, clean the area with a degreaser, and inspect for debris or lack of lubrication.
Verify that the headset press was performed correctly and that the taper ring is properly seated to eliminate clearance.
To install the Hope Pick N Mix Bottom Cup, ensure your frame's headtube is clean and free of debris. Always use a professional-grade headset press to avoid damaging the precision-machined aluminum cups. This specific model (IS52/40) is designed for Integrated (IS) standards; verify your frame’s internal headtube diameter (52mm) and fork crown race seat (40mm) before starting. For maintenance, keep the rubber seals clean and periodically inspect the bearings for movement. A light application of high-quality waterproof bicycle grease during installation will further extend the life of the unit.
