Tech Specs
- Stack measurements include top cover or crown race.
- Note that some manufacturers list cup only to make them appear shorter than they are.
- Angle headsets are the mid stack height and will vary by a mm or so depending on angle.
- Our headsets are highly sealed with custom moulded wiper seal, this adds approximately 2mm over unsealed headsets but we feel this is essential to long service life.
