Ok folks question for you....anyone know of any headsets (standard 1 1/8, not semi-integrated or anything) with a very low stack height?

currently have Hope Headset fitted to one bike and need one with a lower stack, the CK in my other bike seems a bit smaller but not by a lot, WTB grease-guard on my commuter seems like it may be a contender but would prefer something with cartridge bearings.

so anyone know of something that might do the trick?

crank brothers cobalt XC seems like it might be a contender, stack height is listed as 21mm versus the 31 of the hope...

anyone have one of those who can confirm that that is total and not just the lower cup?

I have one and it is seriously low profile - and quite groovy too - I could almost not bear to fit it it looked so good in the box! I could go and measure it if you really want...

I was curious so went and measured - if anything it's a little less than 21mm but if they say 21mm that would seem about right.
