Cane Creek Headset compatability?
I am shopping for a headset for a Lynskey Cooper frame and have settled on a Cane Creek model, looking at the 40 series. My question is will I be able to use a ZeroStack model 1 1/8" or do I need the traditional model? I'd like a lower stack height if possible? Also I am buying a full carbon Enve fork, will I need to buy an expander plug seperately? What type should I look for?

The Lynskey web site shows the Cooper frame requires a conventional 1-1/8" press-in-cup headset and the offers the Cane Creek 40 as a recommended choice. It does not accept a zero stack or other integrated-type headset.

BTW, I trust you realize that carbon steerers should NEVER use a star nut.
