They use a 'flat bottom' crown race, and because they use loose ball bearings, not cartridge, you can't substitute the Hylix integrated carbon race for the proprietary crown race, as you could with a modern integrated headset, where the crownrace is just a cone to centre the bottom cartridge bearing.
