from Kila Date Reviewed: March 19, 2005 Strengths: Very short, and light. Super excellent customer support. Is that descriptive what. Weaknesses: First set was stiff turning. Was to loose, or to tight with only a fraction of a turn (of set screw). This spring I ulled bike up stairs to do tune up, and found my head set totally siezed up. Pulled it apart and was indeed rusted ??? Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Spencer Lake Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $4000.00 Purchased At: Jenson's Cyclery Similar Products Used: None Bike Setup: Raleigh Inferno XC Pro frame, full Shimano XTR, Spinergy wheels w/Stan's no tubes using Hutchinson Python Gold Elite tires, Marzocchi Marathon S forks...NNNice :)

from Germany Date Reviewed: May 17, 2003 Strengths: Looks good. ZS-2 has better seals than the ZS. Cheap. Weaknesses: The original ZS has a flawed design, so don't buy it under any circumstances! The ZS-2 seems to be much better but the seals on the lower bearings could be a bit better. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 2 Years Similar Products Used: ZS, ZS-2

from Calistoga, California, USA Date Reviewed: December 28, 2001 Strengths: Looks sweet...all intergrated into the frame. Bigger serface area at point of conection to frame which means to me it can be stronger while being lighter. Weaknesses: Abosolutly the bearings!! Mine too, after a year, went out so to speak. Grinding noise is never a good sound on a bike. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Now if I told you that, I't wouldn't my favorite trail any more.

from Barrington, RI, USA Date Reviewed: August 8, 2001 Strengths: Being that the headset/headtube are wider than normal there may be a benefit in frame stiffness from the design. Weaknesses: Feels flimsy, the crown race is just plain cheesy, the cups aren't polished to any degree (still have cnc marks), and the bearings don't feel precise at all. The headset, in the form it came with my Giant NRS Air frame, doesn't work properly. It is either too loose, or too tight but never "just right". I called Cane Creek and they said they've redesigned the bearings and crown race/tension ring and shipped me a new set for free. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Purchased At: LBS Similar Products Used: Race Face Real Seal (A+), Cheapo WTB (F), Cane Creek C-2 (B) Bike Setup: Black.
