Headset Stack Height

[93legendti]

I need a headset with lower stack height than a CK. Other than FSA, what are some other good choices? Thanks.

WHY ! Do you have a steerer tube thats already cut too short ?

No, 2 bikes that are the same, but for HT length... re: fork steerer tubes, I like to measure 20x cut once...I still have an extra 3cm on my Ottrott's ST from 5/07.

How much less ya want? Record is 24 mm King at 31 mm. Also check Cane creeks web, they list all heights and have some choices...

7 mm is pretty good and probably the best I could hope for. I am going to check CC's web site. Thanks for the suggestions.

Extralite, as a weightweenie choice, makes a conventional headset with just over 20mm of stack height. The Head 2 is 62-64 grams and comes with a bikini clad woman on the top cap. Oh, and its 150+ dollars.... :cool:

So you're trying to get the bars lower on the one with the taller HT? Sorry if I'm being slow, just trying to understand the motivation here.

Yes, and I know a stem with a different angle would also work...

Smallest that I have seeen is Extralite The Head 2 at 20.5 mm (which has already been recommended). If you have a HT extension you could have a good frambuilder trim, I know of a few dudes who have done that.
