I'm building a Marin San Rafael from 1995 and I've hit a snag with the headset. I installed an M-part elite 1 inch headset but the stack height is too high and I can't get the locknut on the threads.

It obviously needs a low stack height headset but any new low stack headsets are ISO and I need JIS. Any suggestions for low stack height JIS headsets? Preferably black.

Should add I can't use the old one, it's bust up inside.

EC30 threaded I assume? Tange Levin is the usual go-to, should be JIS versions but you may have to hunt

Edit: Or not, turns out more people stock the JIS variant than the ISO

Yes EC30 threaded.

Ye I have found a couple of the JIS Tange Levins but none in black.

Am I also correct in assuming that low stack, sealed bearings and made of aluminium does not exist?
