Have been looking into the possibility of fitting a Mavic headset to my Look MI-80 at some point.
As far as I can see, the top cup/locknut is a one-piece construction except for the tightening band with the 2.5mm allen bolt.
Stack height is somewhat higher than the XT headset on the bike at the moment - but it looks as if this might not matter with the Mavic headset - just as long as the tightening section is screwed onto the fork and a little bit above it.
What I need to know is..... What is the PRACTICAL stack height of one of these, as opposed to the ACTUAL stack height all the way to the top - and whether anyone has tried something similar - and to what degree of success.
