Strengths: snappy looks?Weaknesses: reported weight is waaaaay lower than actual. they advertise this as a 65.5 g headset and it also states that weight right on the box. it weighs 95 g. when i called crank bros they had some excuse that it is probably only the cup weight but that is consistent with other manufacturers. i weigh everything and this is the only example i am aware of that they report cup weight as headset weightBottom Line: i'll try to repost when i've had a chance to use this thing for a while but the massive under reporting of weight already undermines my confidence in the integrity of crank bros. i believe it was an intentionally misleading advert with the sole aim of selling more headsets. they should be ashamed.

Strengths: LightWeaknesses: Rust, Rust & poor sealsBottom Line: In twenty years of racing I have never had a headset issue until now. And I have had some cheap headsets. I have only used King headsets on all my bikes in the last ten or so years with zero trouble. I purchased the CB headset to save some $$ and like the CB pedals. This thing started to rust on the OUTSIDE of the body. What??? Then last week after a bike wash (no power washing only a bucket of soapy water and rinse) I noticed the headset sticking. I took it apart and the bearings were wet, corroded and grease-less. This thing is less than 3 months old. CB in there expansion to grow better keep an eye on quality. There pedals are great, the rest of there stuff?
