Headset Help. Tolerance in regards to stack height.
I've been reading past threads about headsets, stack heights and the like. I'm having a hard time answering my question, so I thought I'd pose it here in the new thread.
I've got a frame and fork which has a stack height that measures ~35mm. It seems most of what I've been reading suggests and ideal headset would be 1-2mm larger stack height than measured from the frame. Unfortunately, the headset I'm most interested in is the Tange Levin NJS campy copy which has a stack height of 38.4mm.
Would I be pushing my luck? Is the 3.4mm going to stop me from getting enough threads on the lockring?
The alternate would be the Tange Levin CDS which has a stack height of 33.4, and would require a spacer.
What are you thoughts? Should I risk it?
