from tempe, AZ, US Date Reviewed: July 15, 2004 Strengths: appearance only Weaknesses: will NOT get all the slop out between the fork and headset no matter how much you tighten the top cap screw. Constant clunk like others have reported. It needs a shim between the top cap and bearing race!! Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: anything with dirt/rocks Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $50.00 Purchased At: supergo Similar Products Used: Chris King on all my other bikes. Tried to save money on my Single Speed and shouldn't have!! Bike Setup: Converted hardtail to SS

from Hoboken Date Reviewed: September 3, 2002 Strengths: It is a headset. Weaknesses: Same as everyone else. The thing is never right, it is either too loose or too tight. I find that the problem is dependant on the outside temperature. If its hot out, it loosens up, if it is cold, it gets tight.

from Vancouver Date Reviewed: July 17, 2002 Strengths: cool image good for cross-country bikes Weaknesses: HORRIBLE DESIGN - the old headsets (4-5 years old ?) had a shim that fit between the upper cup & the steer tube. By tightening the screw , you wedged the shim in & thus kept the steer tube from moving . The newer headsets lack this shim , thus allowing the steer tube to move even if your headset is on tight . This problem is made worse if you have triple-clamp forks due to the increased leverage they exert on the headtube. I recently switched to 6 inch Super-T's & have experienced this problem first-hand . My headset is creaking constantly & you can actually see the spacers on my headtube moving . And yes , I did loosen the upper clamps on my fork before tightening everything up . And yes , my headset is on tight with absolutely no movement at the cups . And no , my cups aren't cracked or warped . It's simply due to a terrible design . My LBS agrees & said that this is a common problem with this headset .
