You mean a stock 888 steerer on a bike with a 1.5 headtube ?

Pretty common.

Risse also makes a 1.5 steer "upgrade" if you feel the urge.

Not much. I think 8" is the total length but you can see that I didn't use all of it. I left it long in case I wanted to get rid of the zero stack headset or sell it but I've had no reason to do either.

how much steerer you need depends on how you reduce. You can either use a headset that reduces from 1.5, like the cane creek or you can use reducer cups. I just FSA reducer cups, I prefer doing it like that because its one more reinforcement to prevent ovalized headtubes, and its easier to remove normal headsets from reducer cups than a 1.5 headset, also now I can use whatever headset I want instead of just the cane creeks. The only problem with doing it like this is you end up with a much taller stack height.

You can also get a Risse 1.5 lowering crown and use a 1.5 headset and 68 the reducers.
