I want to buy a new headset for my Mountain Cycle San Andreas. I believe my diameter is 1 1/8. I understand what press fit is but what exactly is a drop in headset?? Is it exactly what it sounds like that the forks and the bolting of the neck keep the cups in place?
Any advantages / disadvantages to either?? I am looking at Ritchey Carbon. Good headset??
I also saw headsets listed with a 44mm id. 44mm would be 1.73 inches. Am I thinking of that the right way?? 1.73 inches seems way to wide for a headset diameter..... ??
What is a 'zero stacked' ?? My current headset does have a spacer above the headset. Is that what it is referring to? How would I calculate the required stack height??
I never knew a bicycle could be so confusing!!
