Fitting Boxxers

Hi all,
Hopefully a very simple yes or no question
will these fit
http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Mode ... elID=85113
It's to go on my Norco Shore 2 which currently has a set of Domains with a 1.5 steerer, I know I would have to get a reducer headset as the Boxxers are 1 1/8th
My main question is dont Boxxers usually have a short/tall crown option? or is that not the case anymore?
My current axle is a 20mm too so no problem there as far as I see it
Have I missed anything?
Thanks

they list the stack heights that the flat and drop crowns work with. them measure yours and see.
not all frames designed to work with single crown forks will work with dual crown forks.
Parktools :?:SheldonBrown
From reading around all new headsets should say the stack height on them, correct?

so 28.7mm in this case
and if I add that to the total measurement of my headtube, not including races then thats my stack height, maybe?
haha sorry guys!

Votec V.SX Enduro 'Alpine Thug' 2012/2013 build
Trek Session 8
and a new reducer headset like this one
http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Mode ... elID=25722
That would leave me with a headtube of 129mm and a stack height of 28.7 mm so 157.7mm altogether.
I'm struggling to find the 2013 Boxxer manual on the Sram site but it seems to be the case that under 160mm is a short crown and over 160mm is a tall crown. I rang CRC this morning and they are seeing which crown it will come with and are going to ring me back. Hopefully with the measurements of what sizes they work with too.
Correct or have I missed something?
Cheers for all your help guys I'm almost there!

you only need crown race to top of headset. stem etc are not measured.

Top of Headtube to top cap is 82mm, minus the 50mm from the stem leaves 32mm and then minus a few for the top cap I guess. How important is this as I will need a new headset anyway?
(edit) I'm stupid, just realised that will obviously included any spacers. But I'm wondering how much the old headset height matters?
(another edit) I'm officially an idiot, sorry Nick I clearly didnt read your post properly.
Bottom Race = 10mm
Headtube = 129mm
Top of headtube - top cap = 82mm
Stem = 50mm
So I make that:
10mm + 129mm + (82mm - 50mm - top cap and spacers)
=171mm - top cap and spacers
Thats for the current headset however which would be replaced by the reducer one.

I would rather use the short crown (purely for aesthetic reasons) and I would need a new headset anyway as my current is a 1.5 steerer. Therefore considering a zero stack headset as Felix suggested earlier, been looking at this one :

Can anyone reccomend anything else, preferably not as pricey?
