headset ZS56/31.8 reduce to 28.6 (help needed)

[dennisyzf]

I am looking for a headset replacement for my cube stereo hybrid and because of colour I prefer to stick with HOPE.
Problem is they only sell a zs56 upper with 31.8 instead of 28.6 diameter.
Could any of you knowledgeable guys tell mee if its possible to use a 1 1/2 (31.8) to 1 1/8 (28.6) adapter or something like that?

Due to the need for the conical preload spacer to adjust bearing preload in the upper headset cup a reducer/adapter wouldn't really work very well for a headset top cup.
56mm top cups for 1&1/8 steerers should still available from the likes of Acros, FSA and Cane Creek but are generally only available in black.
If you're after anodized colours all I can think of off the top of my head is a full headset from Superstar

Thnks for the swift and clear answer!
I knew of the superstar headset and that's probably the direction I will take.
Most likely black because the orange will probably differ to much from the hope orange on other parts.

Just clean which ever orange is darker with Muc Off until the shades match
