$45.00 | | Purchased At: | LBS | | Strengths: | Bad ass looks! Gotta love the flames!! May not be a real strength, but what the hell. | | Weaknesses: | Haven't encountered any yet | | Similar Products Used: | Nothing in that range | | Bike Setup: | Norco Rampage, lots of upgrades, this being one of them. | | Bottom Line: | I blew my last headset up, it was a cheap Aheadset that came on the bike. I had some intial issues, but that was due to the lower cup not being seated completely. Since then all has been fine. I love the control I get with it. The only other headset that I would go with is a King, but thought I'd save alot of dough and try out the Diablous. So far so good. If it goes to crap I'll write another review! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$100.00 | | Purchased At: | Mailorder | | Strengths: | Looks Great, fantastic finish | | Weaknesses: | Bearings are crap. Forget about warranty. | | Similar Products Used: | King. | | Bike Setup: | Ellsworth dare. | | Bottom Line: | Took this bike on a MTB trip. Bearings basically came apart when it came out of box. Brought bike to LBS and the other one exploded on them too. Race face warranty sucks.
Think I am going to try Hope. Own a several of their products and they are ususlly bullet proof. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$65.00 | | Purchased At: | fleebay | | Strengths: | looks great, cheaper than king | | Weaknesses: | bearings are crap and are shot after three months of riding. | | Similar Products Used: | King | | Bike Setup: | 07 Heckler w lyrik, xo, hadley wheels and juicey sevens | | Bottom Line: | Pay the extra $40-$60 and buy a Chris King or be prepared to replace your headset as often as you replace your tires. I have king headsets that have lasted over ten years being transferred from frame to frame and those headsets are as good as new. The raceface though cant take more than three months before the bearings are shot and it develops play. I guese the other manufacturers still havenot caught up to king after all these years. Lower price doesn't make it a good value if it falls apart. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
