pedaaal!

thats still 20mm in the right direction. and the magazine comment, im just gonna pretend you are just getting a little carried away typing and arent actually a shithead.

because with zero stack headsets you can achieve a lower stack height leaving room to put more travel in the same amount of space, and have more room to raise or lower your bars on your steer tube. 1.5 headtubes are also better because there is more surface to weld to which the frame stronger for very little weight difference. you cant fit a 1.5 fork in a 1/18 headtube but you can fit a 1 1/8 fork in a 1.5 headtube. personally im not a big fan of 1/18 campy style headsets, i think they break and wear out very easily, but they still achieve lower stack height. 1.5 zero stack headsets on the other hand have really stood up to some serious use for me, i think that every mountain bike should have at least be tapered, if not straight 1.5

Every frame should have some kind of zero stack headset. 1/18 is outdated shitty technology.

All around killer deal
