from north vancouver Date Reviewed: January 27, 2010 Strengths: Chris King reliability/performance. Weaknesses: The silly 25mm lower bearing cup length. Way too many folks have found that once installed in their frame that it can't be removed. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 3 months Similar Products Used: Chris King aluminum no threadsets, Syncros, FSA, WTB, etc. Bike Setup: Santa Cruz Heckler

from North Van, Canada Date Reviewed: January 2, 2005 Strengths: Typical Chris King product. Excellent seals/bearings. Weaknesses: A real bugger to install. If the cups extend past the internal flanges in your head tube, you're screwed. There is no way to remove this headset to move it to another frame. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 1 Year Similar Products Used: Chris King no thread head sets in my other two bikes.

from Australia Date Reviewed: December 22, 2003 Strengths: It's strength is it's strength. Pushes an inch into your frame. Gives flared head-tubes new life. Will last longer than any bike. Easy to maintain. Weaknesses: Some might say weight and/or price, but if you want to get the strongest headset there is, it's worth it. It's still MUCH cheaper than a new frame (which was a possibility if this didn't work). Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $143.00 Purchased At: Cambria Similar Products Used: Ringle Slammer Jammer, FSA Pig. Both are now in my parts bin. Bike Setup: Mountain Cycle Shockwave, Marzocchi Z1 Drop-offs ( great fork but get the through axle only, see my review), Mavic 321s, Hayes, home-made 34 tooth MRP. Wonderful bike.

from New York, NY Date Reviewed: February 2, 2003 Strengths: Looks awesome, totally bulletproof, 10 year warranty Weaknesses: Since the flanges are so huge, either you have to get your headtube reamed (which decreases strength, or buy a frame with an externally machined headtube, which are kinda hard to find, a little heavy. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: The Next One Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $150.00 Purchased At: Supergo Similar Products Used: FSA Pig Bike Setup: Karpiel Apocolypse, Super Monsters, Atomlab Ballistic pedals
