    A few DB Prince Albert owners here, I’m led to believe.

    Need to fit some 426 Air U-Turn Revs (with all the adjuster gubbins on top) to a 15.5" PA frame, and it seems that fork adjuster/downtube clearance may be a little tight.
    Anyone have any suggestions for/experience of headsets that’ll allow adequate clearance between fork and frame?
    Current fave (Cane Creek S8) with 12.3mm lower stack height looks tight, if my cunning bog-roll mock-up is to be believed. Hope HS looks more promising with 14.1mm. Any good?

    Merci bucket, gentlemen…

    Which FSA headset was that?

    Currently erring towards Hope: if not for the "best" stack height, then for the whole "Made in England" thing 🙂

    I’ve got a wtb headset on my 15’5 PA, running the air U-turn revs with no clearence issues.

    I’ve not heard of anyone having fork dial clearance issues with any headset on a Prince Albert. I suppose it could happen if the lower cup is really shallow and the fork dials are quite high.

    But if you want to be "really sure" then a Hope will probably offer the most clearance as their lower cups are quite deep.

    I actually have no clue what model FSA it is 😳 I do have one with a Chris King and that’s fine again with rev’s
