Bottom Line:
I will never use anything but a Chris King headset. It's a set and forget product. Sure you can get a cheaper headset but nothing as long lasting or well made. Due to my trashing it on my rigid 29er, I needed to send my King headset in for service. No hassle, no pain and the turned it around in a couple of days. Awesome and friendly customer service
