from UK Date Reviewed: January 15, 2011 Strengths: Cheap, cartridge bearings. Weaknesses: None so far. Potentially it's not very pretty ... Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Split Ends (Rotorua NZ) Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $10.00 Purchased At: online Similar Products Used: Chris King, various loose ball OEM headsets. Bike Setup: This is on a commuter, a Ridgeback 700c flat bar bike. The OEM headset had fully rusted out, so I figured cartridge would stop me paying for headset pressing in the future.

from Flagstaff, AZ Date Reviewed: December 20, 2006 Strengths: Umm, the lizard on the top cap looks cool. Weaknesses: I, like at least one other on this forum, experienced one of the cups completely shearing away from the headtube insert. I'm just glad I only paid cost for this thing. I'm also glad I didn't get hurt. It certainly isn't worthy of its $50 price tag. Cane Creek: I hope you address this! I guess it's time to bite the bullet and get another King.

from Seattle, WA, USA Date Reviewed: September 20, 2005 Strengths: Inexpensive. Functional Weaknesses: I recently upgraded my frame from a Cane Creek S2 to a Chris King. Through the process I found that the Cane Creek S2 headset had a slightly larger skirt diameter and, thus, had reamed my headtube out just enough to ruin my frame. Granted I could continue to use the Cane Creek, but this none-the-less shows that Cane Creek's tolerances are substandard. That said the headset did work for the duration that I had it installed. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 2 Years Similar Products Used: Cane Creek C2, Race Face, Tange Technoglide, Chris King
