You really can't figure this out on cane creek's website yourself?
i guess what i was asking was more of a "what is the best based off personal experience and reliability". more than what will fit and what wont. i forgot to put that in there, oh well
I hear the Crank Brothers Opium headset is about the lowest you can get for a 1 1/8th headtube.
Its not the lowest but I have the CaneCreek 110 in mine and its as smooth as butta, a friend has the Opium in his, I think it cracked when he installed it the first time but Crank Bros sent him a new one and it went in fine, lower then the 110 by probably 5mm but its not really that noticeable. The 110 also has a 110 year warranty! You can pass it on to your grandkids.
Get the Crank Bros Opium...got one fitted to my 2008 V10. If you follow the installation instructions carefully it goes in a treat. Highly recommended.
I got an aftermarket 2010 Boxxer Team with low crown which was the same set-up I had with the older Boxxer Team / FSA Pig Pro and had to get the much lower headset to allow the stanchions to protrude the recommended minimum 3mm above the top crown.

The cup on those is part of the bearing itself, so if you install the thing crooked at all they tend to crack.
