Hi, asking on here as I’ve not yet had a reply direct.

Are their headsets cross-compatible? They make both cups I need, just not in a single headset package.

If I was to buy 2 headsets with 1.5 deg offset, one containing the zs49 upper and one containing the zs56 lower, would this work?

Cheers folks

Probably, more or less but it won't be perfect. Could it be that 1degree is the most you can get with that combo?

Ah I didn’t think of that! They don’t list that top/bottom combo in any angle though so I’m not sure if it’s just an unusual headset

I suspect it won't work, otherwise they'd be offering that combination already.

Probably worth emailing them to confirm.

This type?

As above I imagine the issue here is there just isn't room to tilt the steerer tube that far in your headset
