I suspect the bearing seat (inside the headtube) isn't as deep as the headset manufacturer designed for. But I see no reason that the headset won't work. At worst the upper stack might see a bit more grime getting in but that's more about periodic maintenance as grit gets into nearly any gap given enough time and exposure. BTW the lower stack is more the concern as it sits in the direct line of fire of any water spinning off the tire. Andy
