Lowest possible stack height for aheadset?

[Tallpaul]

What's the lowest available stack-height for a 1 1/8" aheadset to fit an 'ordinary' (non-integrated) head-tube?

zero apparantly!

So a headset like this Ritchey one is suitable for normal headtubes?

yeah i think a semi is what your after im no expert mind but that looks like it would go into a standard headtube. if you dont trust my advice you could email crc or even ring them

Standard kind, 51mm Cranky Brothers heedset is lowest I've come across.

My understanding was that integrated and semi-integrated mean the same thing in terms of fitting i.e. both are for zero stack head-tubes.

51mm? A CK is something like 31mm.

Same here - except the integrated ones use the frame as a bearing surface rather than a separate cup.

I'm not aware of a zero stack headset for a standard headtube - if there was one the bearings would have to be tiny! Unless you used a 1" fork in a 1"1/8 headtube.

Absolutely!

At least I know I'm looking for the right thing. So, lowest stack-height ordinary aheadset anyone?

I tell a lie!! That was the figure I had off the top of my head- actual height is 21mm!!
