Hi,

Looking to replace the BrandX headset that came fitted with my frame. Just don't trust it.

Lookjngat Hope or Cane Creek.
Is there any tangible difference between tall and zero stack tops?

I have 20mm of spacers under the stem currently so no shortage of capacity.

G.

Tall just describes the cover, replacing 10-15mm of spacers. Otherwise will fit the same

What is it about it you don’t trust? it’s just bearings in a race.

There's a rubber seal on the top that keeps mishaping. I can't see it lasting.

Tall is a 'smooth' look as it tapers in, I prefer it.
