Looks like this would be the equivalent part if I wanted to opt for the fully concealed option within the Ritchey ecosystem: https://ritcheylogic.com/bike/headsets/Switch-upper-headset

Based on you experience, I guess it would fit the frame. Thanks for your feedback!

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / FSA SMR ACR stem/headset on Velobuild VB-R-066 frame?
« on: July 30, 2024, 12:48:41 AM »
Hi folks,

I'm planning a new build on a VB-R-066 disc frame. I'm planning to supply my own stem and handlebars. I'd like to stick with fully internal routing. I've searched this and other forums extensively, but can't quite find definitive information about what my options are.

It seems that the FSA SMR ACR system is a good and widely available option in the US. If I wanted to use an FSA SMR ACR stem, would I be able to use the stock Velobuild headset or would I need to replace the top headset with a FSA ACR option?

If I do need to replace the top headset, is this the correct headset to use?

If I replaced the headset, I assume the top cover for the FSA headset would sit flush on the 066 frame and then I'd use however many FSA spacers I need?

I'm new to fully internal routing, so thanks for helping me out. I'll post photos of the new build when I have the parts in hand.
