No matter what it looks like, this is still a budget build
The Cranky Sage stack is 20.56mm stack. I was gonna get a Caney S3 for $25, but that put me just a tad tall for proper steer tube-to-top cap distance. 8.24mm doesn't seem like much, but it made all the difference.If I went with a different stem, it would have offset the overall cost regardless, so I may as well splurge a few bucks on the Sage and hope it doesn't crack open. We'll see how goes.
I prob. should'a just put the Tioga on the Komodo and the Temple Lite on the Flow, but I'm diggin the way the Komodo is set up right now and don't wanna change it.
The Pig Pro seems to be the beezneez, but what are you planning for the King? Shelf?

Sweet!
I have shipped the following item to you. You should be receiving it shortly.
Item title: Crank Brothers Sage SL Freeride Direct Set Headset
Now to focus on:
-rear cog
-chainring
-chain
-pedals
-brakes
-grips
The saddle that's on it right now is HarlieJ's. I'm waiting to see if a friend of mine wants to buy it from him. I'm prob. going to go with a shorter Jump saddle or maybe a FR saddle.

Still kicking.
All I really wanted was an FSA Pig, but the stack was too tall for my steerer tube. No matter what it looks like, this is still a budget build The Cranky Sage stack is 20.56mm stack.

Updates...
Sage came in today:
Thought I wouldn't like the green , but I do.
Crown race setter:
(the white "scarring" looking stuff is actually just PVC shavings from smacking the top of the pipe)

I was worried about the stack height even though it worked out on paper...I still had room for a 2mm spacer:
Gettin' there...

Just won a Surly 16t 3/16" thick singlespeed cog for $7.51+$3 shipping. I was gonna pay $20+S&H for a 15t at UniversalCycles...but I couldn't pass up the deal.

I hope you meant 3/32" because 3/16" is frikken thick.
