Strengths:
Works sometimes. my bars turn(usually...)
Weaknesses:
I've had problems with this guy from the start. First I lost a piece(my fault), but WTB was extremely helpful. A few months later, a mechanic was commenting on the stiffness of the headset...fork not turning smoothly. I took the front end apart, and all of the grease, once green, was BLACK and mostly gone. I cleaned the whole thing up, and found a cracked hard plastic "seal?" now the rubber seal has mashed out of alignment, and the whole thing is oozing grease. Just hasn't been a "forget about it" thing like headsets should be.

Bike Setup:
Very nice hard tail race rig.
Bottom Line:
Just hasn't been as simple as a headset should be. oozing, funky seals, etc. just don't look good or work well. Overall, I haven't been terribly happy w/WTBs headsets, but their customer service is excellent.
