A lot of first time Cannondale owners and others a like, may think there are no other options for parts for your Headshok's; however, there are more than one might think. Here I've listed some of the products I have come across and where you can find them.
Stems
Three companies make stems for the Headshok system: Profile, Syncros, and Kore. Kore offers only
one of their stems for the Headshok, their top-of-the-line Kore Elite stem. Profile makes a stem in
their Stiffy line for the Headshok. The stem offered by Syncros is the hinged face stem. The Kore stem
can be purchased at Cambria Bicycles. Universal Cycles
has the Profile in stem. I have yet to find a supplier of the Syncros stem that lists it on their webpage
for purchase. Maybe someone knows where it can be had.
Adapters and Reducers
Headshoks are a great fork, but sometimes don't quit fit the job you need them to do, especially when
it comes to longer travel. The solution is to use and aftermarket fork. To do this you are going to have
to purchase a reducer headset or a reducer insert.
The reducers can be purchased from Universal Cycles or your local bike shop. The reducer inserts are sold and distributed by QBP and BTI. Cane Creek is the only headset manufacturer that produces a reducer headset that can be easily purchased.
