| FavoriteTrail: | Good Trails are Neat |
| Duration Product Used: | More than 3 years |
| Price Paid: | $30 |
| Purchased At: | Came with Litespeed |
| Strengths: | Just plain works, east to install, 3 years so far-no maintenance! Light weight. Smooth as buttah. |
| Weaknesses: | Stupid people install it wrong, ride with it tightened to tight or not tight enough. |
| Similar Products Tried: | Cris King, Cane Creek, FSA, Ritchey, WTB |
| Bike Setup: | Who cares! You won't be able to tell as I scream past you. |
| Bottom Line: | Works well for cross country riding/racing - Probably not the best for DH or FreeRide applications. |

| FavoriteTrail: | Utah, High Country where the trees grow |
| Duration Product Used: | 1 Year |
| Purchased At: | SuperGo |
| Strengths: | Very Light and Great Seals |
| Weaknesses: | None with proper installation. |
| Similar Products Tried: | none like these. |
| Bike Setup: | 2001 Zaskar Team - Full XTR, Easton Carbon Bars and Seat Post, SID Race, Tubeless Pythons/Mavic CrossMax. 21 1/2 lbs light with Egg Beater Pedals. |
| Bottom Line: | There is a top and bottom side to the bearings. The angle goes in the head tube first for proper set-up. If there are installed flat side in, the streering tube will rock around. This could damage the machined head tube, not good! |

| Duration Product Used: | 6 months |
| Strengths: | um, none if it doest work, right? |
| Weaknesses: | the bearings are "designed" to rock around in the integrated cups and wear them out. |
| Bike Setup: | litespeed appalachian cross |
| Bottom Line: | Why would anyone design a headset that floats in the head tube, it just makes no sense. mine failed in under 300 miles. supposedly cane creek customer service is cool, but they ought to be to make up for a poor product. |
