Can any one suggest a super low stack headset for me, 1 1/8 press fit, needs to be reasonably priced. Thanks.

CRC were selling of some crank bros iodine(?) ones a while back when i had a short steerer. reviews weren't great but it hasn't died yet.

Crank brothers is the stock answer on this.

Crank bros may be the stock answer, but keep hold of your receipt as they inevitably corrode and **** up leading to a warranty claim.
How much height you looking to save?
I take it you've got a low stack stem already?

Loaded Components do one with 22mm stack height. They are pricey though, but seem like they would be a better long term bet than the crank bros ones?

How low is super low?
Fsa mx orbit is 32.1mm in height and £16.99 on Rutland cycling
and lasts ages but may not be low enough.

Accross do one that's nearly as small as the Iondine with a a better rep. Katie's has been on a few years without issues.

Thanks for the responses guys, as to how low is low, around 25mm would be ideal, and I was aware of the crank bros ones, had one before and frankly it was shite. Will go google Accross and loaded components.

Its Acros (only one "c")
Why so low, cut your steerer too short?

No, the steerer is spot on for the frame it's in at the moment, I was just trying to shoe horn the fork into a frame I've seen on the classifieds that has a longer headtube.

FWIW, I've got two bikes with CB Iodines on and it's definitely true that they corrode on the outside but IME they seem fine internally so it's just cosmetic.
