but must it? Can i use a 'standard' aheadset? Are there any major
dis/advantages to either the frames which accept zero stack aheadsets or

No, you must use a zero stack headset. Not a bad thing as good ones
come from FSA and Cane Creek. No Chris King though.

I have one of these on my Litespeed. It really does not make much of a

bearings, crown race as the Cane Creek S2, S6 and others so bearing
availability should not be issue in the future. The only thing that is
different is the cups and dust cap.
