Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Q about external headset stack height

I am trying to figure out the relative HT sizes of a bike with an integrated headset vs that with an external headset.

The latter bike has a 150mm HT - now, if I add a Chris King 1 1/8" AHeadset with a claimed total stack height of 31.4mm, would that result in a setup that is roughtly equivalent to a 181.4mm HT on a bike with integrated headsets (assuming all else is equal)?

Seems to, but I just want to double-check, to make sure I am not missing anything.

Thanks.
