Description:
    The American Classic ultra-light headset is unique in that the o-rings in the top cap center it on the steerer tube, independent of downward force. This allows bearing adjustment without bearing down load. The headset features angular contact bearings which support the side-to-side load and the up-and-down load.

      Date Reviewed: 9/26/2007 6:58:15 PM
      FavoriteTrail: uncrowded one
      Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month
      Price Paid: $80
      Purchased At: campmor
      Strengths: this is for the 1 1/8th threadless @ 77grams

      very light clean looking, sealed bearings mean low maint. not flashy but looks good. very smooth and yeah very light.
      Weaknesses: none that i have experianced
      Similar Products Tried: various cane creek cheaper heavier head sets that work fine but weight twice as much and get sloppy eventually
      Bike Setup: 07 access xcl frame, 07 manitou r7 elite w/tpc, 08 truvativ stylo 3.3 team and the rest off my porky dakar 26.5lbs total but on a diet
      Bottom Line: its cheaper the other headsets with higher bling factor and weighs less, i see the sealed bearings as an advantage but im sure there are others who would disagree. either way im not all about the blink and this headset does its job for a fair price. if the bearings do go they should be cheap and easy to replace..
