Strengths: durability!
smooth
strong
Weaknesses: seals could be better, the mud penetrates inside rather easilyBottom Line: don't know why others seam to dislike them. mine survived for over !!!!! 5 years. and i'm not a weekend worrior. i do up to 7000 miles a year. also i like big hits. but hade to do the proper maintance. they are only about to die now. why to spend much more for the cool King stuff when these are ok too? weird. i'll buy same ones if i they're still available on the secondary market
don't know how much they cost, but i definitely wonna give them a proper credit, therefore

Strengths: Easy to install, but thats itWeaknesses: I got mine in may ´99 and I was run down by January ´00 - after under 1000 kms of easy riding. The cups were worn down og the bearing were gone too. Its still works though, but it is only a matter of time before it must go, I cannot tolerate crappy stuff on my bike :-)Bottom Line: I was looking to save a bit of cash when i bought it, but the bottom line is that its not worth it if i goes boink after half a year of easy riding. I am giving it 2 chilis in value because of the affordabillity, but only 1 in overall because of the fast wear. Will probably go for a FSA next time - but the throught of RaceFace and Chris King headsets is inviting...

Strengths:
Easy to strip and regrease
No star fangled nutWeaknesses:
ThreadsBottom Line: This headset is a piece of crap. I tried to take it apart, it went bang, and half the bloody threads stripped out. Also in about 3 months the bearings wore away to nothing. And it rocks.
Don't buy this lame attempt at an innovative headset, and get one from somebody who knows what they are doing. It doesn't even deserve 1 burning sh1t

Strengths:
Light, looks good, doesnt breakWeaknesses:
creaks a bit(barely audible)
A right pain to take apartBottom Line: Absolulely reliable. It never let me down and it has survived a lot, unlike my mavic rims, and the weight is very competetive.
Tgh to take apart for maintenance though.
