$55.00 | | Purchased At: | price point | | Strengths: | A lot of cheap Taiwanese labor goes into it. | | Weaknesses: | MADE IN TAIWAN | | Similar Products Used: | Not similar cause they are great products but a King and CC s-2 | | Bike Setup: | Dean Colonel, full xtr | | Bottom Line: | Headset worked well for about 3 months then my steering went loose. The bearings were fried. Went back to an AMERICAN made Chris King and don't even think about it anymore.
I'm done with race face, all of their stuff is made in Taiwan. I have had and XY seatpost fail, race face cranks fail, and now this crappy headset. Cane creek s-2 lasted me 4 years. | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: October 12, 2006 | | Duration Product Used: | 1 Year | | Strengths: | Lightweight, looks good. | | Weaknesses: | Poor durability. | | Bottom Line: | I used this headset for 3 months on an XC bike and other 9 months on a cyclocross bike. After a year, the bearings were completely contaminated (falling apart in my hands). In contrast, I have a Chris King headset that has lasted over 6 years so far.
Bottom line is: Do not buy this headset. Either spend more to get a King, or spend less to get an inexpensive FSA or Cane Creek. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

I had a FSA Orbit DL on my
XC before, but I decided to get a sealed bearing headset, so I chose the Deus. This headset is Chris King quality. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Put it in, and forgot about it. I ride in some very gritty conditions, sand, mud, whatever and haven't had any problems. I think it's time to purchase another one for my other bike. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
