As I understand it, a zero stack headset will only fit into a frame designed for them, but I forget where I’ve see the reason why. I think it’s just the difference in height for where it slots into the headtube.

zero stack headsets will only fit into headtubes that are designed for them, as the bearing sit inside the headtube.

as far as normal style headsets, you could try the crank bros ones, I think they have the lowest stack height out there.

Zero stack headsets have a bigger “hole” in the headtube as the whole cup sits within the tube rather than hanging out the top and bottom.

I think that the Crank Bros ones are low stack, no idea if they’re any good though.

EDIT – too slow!
