from PORTOLA HILLS, CA USA Date Reviewed: December 29, 2002 Strengths: low price Weaknesses: Quite a few weaknesses. You can feel the bearings, the dirt skirt is made of cheap rubber, it mis-aligns which causes the bearings and bearing holders to get crushed. Hard to dial-in so that it turns smooth. There are better headsets out there, spend a little more and get those. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: SANTA ANA MTNS Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $25.00 Purchased At: SUPERGO Bike Setup: Hardtail, Manitou's XC setup.
