  • Probably a stupid idea, but what are the potential issues with mixing two different headsets, meaning lower part (cup+crown race) from brand A and upper part (cup+top+top cap) from brand B? Apart from the preload requirement that might be too different between the two to able to preload correctly?

    It is for 1 1/8 straight external ahead headset, nothing particularly weird

    There's no difference, mostly because I've never seen a numerical value for preload in any headset manual. The preload is tiny compared with the service load on the lower bearing in any case
