1" threadless headset with shortest stack height?

Title says it all.
Cane Creek ZeroStack looks good but I don't think they make a 1" version.
Thanks!

I can't specifically answer your question but a HS for track will probably have the lowest stack height..

Regular record is pretty low stack. Like sub 30mm at least. Id guess from memory 26 ?

Star, if you can find one.

Steerer cut too short?

I have the same question, but it's because I'm shifting to a fork with a little longer axle-to-crown length, so I'm hoping to find a headset with a small lower stack height.

Same answer, but lower stack is fairly close to standard these days (roughly 12-13mm).

Well, got the frame with a Cane Creek S2 installed, which leaves about 36mm of steerer.
Rather than limiting my stem selection, I'd prefer to gain a few mm with another HS - if possible of course.

S2's are already pretty low at 14mm.

-17degr. stem and Hbar w/ a lot of drop.

I bought a 1" Star headset from eBaumann last year and haven't used it. Let me dig a bit and see if I can find it and figure out what I paid for it..

I think combined it's 26.5mm for top and bottom cups?

Yep, saw that too... Looks like an overall stack height of 19.6mm which would buy me 6mm.
The instructions he included in the picture sound a little scary though:
"This is only for advanced diy'ers or professional bicycle mechanics to install."
Besides installation, I wonder whether there are any other quirks...

Thank for sharing!

A boat load of small loose ball bearings.

Campagnolo is low - lower than Chris King at least. I use them on several bikes and they're exceptional headsets and have a low stack height. They look good to boot.
