What's good and cheap? Got a steerer tube that's about ten mm to short to be comfortable riding it in anger.
If I can lose a bit from the headset it'll be alright.
Crank Brothers make headsets with a tiny stack height : http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Brands.aspx?BrandID=194&CategoryID=73&SortBy=Price
there's a few low-height stems as well, kore did one
Been there done that ! Crank brothers are CRAP ... yes they are low (25mm) but my cobalt lastest less than a month. Strip down full of rust and gunk.
Other options tried were a Spank stem, only 50mm long but with a single bolt fixing has a stack height around 20mm. Unfortunately didn't like the handling change.
In the end bit the bullet and ordered a new CSU from Petra cycles. while not cheap, was cheaper than replacing the forks. Bonus is now have a spare CSU if I go back to a smaller frame.
Feels a bit spammy, but the Ragley stem has a low 34mm stack height.
Seeing as your spamming, fancy sending me one to review... 😉
A few of the FSA's are 35mm as well ...
