Low stack headset for conventional 1 1/8 Headtube

joejoe

Hi, please could someone help - I need to find a low stack headset for my Turner 5 Spot 2009 frame as the head tube is pretty high and I'd like to get it down.

Any suggestions? I was thinging of a Cane Creek s-3 headset that has a stack height of 27mm, which seems pretty low. I don't mind spending up to £100 if it is a decent one.

Also, will a press fit headset fit a 'normal' head tube which fits 1 1/8 like the Turner 5 spot?

Thanks in advance for any help/advice.

What type of headset does the frame require? Standard external cup (as you imply), internal (ZeroStack) or integrated (no cup)? Or something else?

Standard external cup. I assume that as this is the case it won't take a zero stack headset? All of the bikes I've had in the past have taken the standard external cup so I am inexperienced with the different types.

Does anyone know if this:

would fit a standard external cup head tube?

Thanks

it will not.

I don't think so, as that needs a 44mm integrated headtube, and you have a standard 1/18th.

Thanks for the help, could anyone suggest a low stack headset that would fit a standard 1 1/8 head tube? Joe
