from Los Angeles, CA Date Reviewed: December 11, 2005 Strengths: This is about the best headset to buy in the 1.5 category. Race face doesn't make one, neither does Chris King. That being said, I wanted to get a sealed bearing headset. So this was the obvious choice. Weaknesses: None that I can think of right now.

from Annapolis, MD Date Reviewed: May 15, 2004 Strengths: Lets me use a state-of-the-art fork instead of a 50mm Headshok in my Cannondale without screwing up the geometry. Weaknesses: Heavy heavy but worth it if you're happy with your frame. The sleeves that slide into the head tube were longer than the machined recess in the head tube. I already bought a nice Fox fork so I sucked it in and took a hacksaw to my new headset(gulp, but happy ending). It worked fine, my bike rides like a dream on it's new fork! It's still about a third of a pound heavier than Cane Creek headsets in my other bikes but, hey, gotta bridge a fairly big gap.

from AZ Date Reviewed: April 9, 2004 Strengths: Same as below - frighteningly so! 98 CAAD2. Headshok was rediculous for where I live! When it died, a new 2003 Marzocci MX Pro ETA 105mm fell in my lap, so, after some research, I purchased this headset. It is killer! Everything I have to say was said below. Weaknesses: A bit spendy, but the shock was free, so hey...
