from Ontario, Canada Date Reviewed: July 3, 2005 Strengths: Its a grest strong headset, but best of all is it's price. It's elegant. Very, very smooth bearings when sealed correctly with lots of synthetic grease. I love hearing the sound of the bearing and grease sliding together. Its so silent and charming compared to my old cane creek headset. The cups are thick and wide. Which makes your frame look beefy and tough. The big balls in the bottom cage rolls nicely and lasts a lot longer than smaller sized bearings that are incorporated in other headsets. Weaknesses: People complain about weight, but how is a few grams gonna hold you from busting out tricks? Weight is not an issue in this product, only large items that have significant differences in weight should be considered a weakness (such as a DJ3 compared to a Pike). I wish this headset came in cool colours like Chris King Precision Components. Some dirt catches underneath the seal at the bottom cup, but no dirt enters the headtube or the main body of the headset.

from Colchester Date Reviewed: March 24, 2005 Strengths: Better than running with no headset.......slightly Weaknesses: Crap bearings, races cracked and bent and the actual balls are flat spotted. Seals are about as good as putting paper round your headtube and even though i clean and mantain my bike nearly everday the headset is still crap. Cups are now also rusting and i look after my bike more than myself Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 1 Year
