headset question

[vinylguy]

hi all

 

ok i need to get a headset that is tapered and integrated

 

only thing is it need to have the shortest stack height... as dont have much room to play with the steerer

 

any ideas?

Welcome to the headset mine field. You first need to establish if your current headset is intergrated (built in cups) or semi integrated (removable cups). If the latter you need to measure the OD of the cups before you order the new one. Cup height is not usually a problem but check that as well. Stack height is often stated on the pack.

 

If it is fully integrated you need to get the exact replacement bearings. Same OD and same chamfer angles.
