I just switched from the e13 cups (using a 1 1/8 fork) to a 1.5" fork. Unfortunately that means my bars are quite a bit higher due to the FSA Pig DH headset I'm currently running. Any recommendations for a decent 1.5 headset with a low stack height?

I was going to post a similar thread in the coming days.. thanks for beating me to it!

the FSA posted above looks pretty damn slim to me? Not slim enough though?

I think I am currently running a PIG aswell.. :thumb:

you could also run a flipped stem. a 10deg 50mm stem run upside down will lower your bars about the same amount that your 1.5in headset raised them.

Well previously I had a very low stack height due to the E13 cups, but I think the FSA should be just as good (had to run a spacer under my boxxer crown previously anyways). I'm going to order that FSA soon though.

I've got a thomson 1.5 stem, so it's 0deg rise.

However, I've been looking for new bars as well, and I think I'm going to go with the gravity 777 flat bars, so that should drop things down a bit too.
