I'm trying to find an 1 1/8" low-stack HS, but not an integrated one. I was looking at the FSA Orbit Z line, but would they hold up to a hard beating and not ovalize my HT? Are there any recomendations for low-stack headsets? Thanks!

I found that Cane Creek has the lowest stack height.
I've been using an S-2 for years with no probs.
Pricepoint has them cheap also. Click here

keep it properly tensioned and no half decent brand headset should ovalize.
I just don't want my head tube to ovalize because the insertion isn't very deep.

It's internal, not integrated. Integrated headsets use the headtube as a bearing surface, but this one has cups for the bearings.

It's still a bigger bore than a standard headset.

ORBIT Z

Deep Alloy cups fit into 50mm OD headtube

Very low profile designed primarily for ATB’s
does any one tell me what OD means? oversize diamiter?

again does anyone know what ATB's are

cheers for your help
