from Salt Lake City, UT, USA Date Reviewed: June 18, 2009 Strengths: Looks good in the box. Weaknesses: Probably the worst designed headset ever known to man. I've never seen instructions that ask for emery cloth and a hammer to install a headset. I've also never seen a headset where you have to press the bearings into the actual cups. It doesn't work. Like others have mentioned, the tolerances are way too tight. I installed it, never rode it as it was already binding up and took a hammer and knocked the POS out of my bike. The crown race is so enormous, thick and tall, I'm not certain how it could actually function on a mountain bike. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Anything dry Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $50.00 Purchased At: www.sixsixone.com Similar Products Used: Cane Creek XX flush mount. Bike Setup: '09 Intense Tracer VP with a Float 36RC2.

from Honolulu, Hi Date Reviewed: January 30, 2009 Strengths: absolutely none, can't fit it. Weaknesses: Super tight fit. Instructions are ridiculously unrealistic, talking about first doing a measure fit so that you can cut the steer tube, but you can't even fit the seat tube through the bottom bearing. Instructions actually say "Press the crown race into place on the lower bearing. You may actually hear it snap together. In most cases the fork will be supported by this interface, but do not rely on it....A small tap with a rubber mallet may be necessary to unseat the crown race from the lower bearing." You can't even get the crown race to seat onto the bearing without massive hammering!!

from Virginia Date Reviewed: April 24, 2008 Strengths: Hmm.... not sure about this one. It is a reducer headset. Super deep cup insertion. Weaknesses: Just too damn hard to install. The tolerances are too tight. Alot of pounding with a dead blow hammer to install. Too afraid to try to uninstall. Too alot of "persuasion" to get on. After the first ride, the headset squeezed together a little more and I had to tighten the top cap. This headset is kind of a beast, the most difficult headset I have ever, ever, ever, installed. I do not feel it is worth it for the average rider. If you have a sponsored team who fixes your rig, then go for it. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $80.00 Purchased At: BTI Similar Products Used: Cane creek, FSA, Bike Setup: 08' Bottle Rocket, 07' 66 RC2X
