From what I've seen, I don't think there is a press-in headset that straight-up converts C-Dale to 1 1/8"...If they made something like a Chris King Devolution that did exactly that, it'd be a dream come true for a lot of people. However, this thing works pretty well and keeps the stack fairly low...

I mated something similar to this with a standard Chris King headset and it looks/works great. At first I thought it would look goofy but I think this is the best way to go. I researched this and you can get reducer headsets but they are all really heavy because the crown race is huge/heavy because it is what does the reducing.
There is an interal option that e13 and others make:

which you install a cane creek headset into.
With the reducers it says it goes to 34mm. Is that the size it needs to be for a normal head set or do I still need to go for one of those 1.5 - 1 1/8 Head sets. Thanks for the info.
They are for a standard headset. Check with Halters, they had a few back in the spring.

I don't know if I am going to do the swap yet. After I played with the numbers it will cast allot of $$$ to do it. SOOOOO maybe. I will let you know.
I talked to C-Dale and they said that they could turn my MAX into a STP(?I think that is what he said?) to help with the problems I am having with it. after talking with him for 20 mins about options and prices this sounds like what I am going to do/try first. (And replace everything else in the Lefty)

Sorry I didn't post sooner.
Cane Creek makes 2 headsets that will fit into a Cannondale headtube and will allow the use of a 1-1/8 steerer tube.
This system is pretty common on the bikes that c-dale specs with non-Cdale forks.
The OEM versions are made by THM I think.
