Finally replaced my smart phone. So I can do pics without too much effort.
Dished as it is (central), and without any sneaky spacers behind the cassette. I feel quite confident the chain will clear the tyre and access all 10 sprockets (at least with a 1x10 set-up).
We'll see.
I've confirmed a 1.5" headtube. The Lefty is 1 1/8" with the custom clamps and steerer. So I'll use a reducer headset. My best option seems to be a Chris King Inset 5.
Basically I get low stack by having the top bearings in the headtube. But I can swap to a tapered fork very easily, as the lower bearings are external. I simply swap out a base plate. So no uninstalling/reinstalling the headset to swap forks.
Also, it comes in blue.
