[Closed] Headset and stem for short steerer

I am wondering how much I can reduce the height of my headset and stem by swapping them for low-rise options. (I currently have an FSA Orbit headset and Truvative Hussefelt stem.)

Any suggestions?

Ragley stubbing stem. I've got one of the older versions and it's 30mm stack height.

Crank Bros DirectSet headset will get you back about 11mm over the FSA headset. It will most likely burst into flames as you fit it, or if you get past the fitting stage, it will almost certainly explode on the first ride. 5 year warranty though ๐Ÿ™‚

Had the same issue with an FSA last year, fitted a Hope and saved myself about 3mm with the same stem
