Strengths: Its nice looking and when it works, it works very well. Stayed tight till it broke. Rolled smooth.Weaknesses: The top cartrige bearing broke :( I run a Gary Fisher Cake 3 with a Marzochi All Mtn # fork on the front (5 in travel free ride fork). It cracked under a VERY hard stop while on the front brake (Hayes 8"). This was no trivial panic stop but I would have expected it to survive. Sounded like a 22 caliber rifle firing when it broke!Bottom Line: Headsets work great or they dont - this one worked great until the top cartrige bearing broke - Ive done worse to lesser parts with no problems. Cant recomend Im afraid - however the Cane Creek Thudbuster seatpost is positively bullet proof and worth every penny - get one!

Strengths: Race and bearing constructionWeaknesses: Thin race lip requires special tool for fork race removal.Bottom Line: It is a good cheap headset. Still smooth with only one disassembly for cleaning. I believe in the angular contact bearings now.
