i'm just curious as to why he'll almost always chime in when there's a chance to pimp bd, but has nothing to add when there's an issue.

say what? Are you saying I have or I am pimping BD? I don't see how I could have in the past considering this is the first thing I've purchased from BD.

Can't tell you if it sticks out of the headtube or not, I can't even get it in.

Sounds like you actually bought the headset designed for the Campy "hiddenset", which has a 41.8 OD bearing. I found the hard way myself that there are about five or seven different "integrated" systems out there, and most have zero interchange compatibility...at all. Here is a good page from Park tool that explains it all... http://www.parktool.com/repair/readhowto.asp?id=68
