First of all i ordered the Ritchey WCS headset bearing - which is a IS52-bearing that doesnt add as much height as the is52-one that followed with the headset/cover kit. They are physicalle both 8mm thick

Do you know if the original headset bearing from spcycle is also 8mm thick?


Been thinking about getting this frame but would definitely like to go with a "proper" headset right from the start.
Have been looking at the Deda S-DCR system as an easy solution to work with any bar/stem combo, comes with bearings measuring 51.9mm OD and 8mm height. Top cap seems a bit more universal than the ritchey system.
Unfortunate that headset standards are so complicated and frame dependant.
