| Duration Product Used: | More than 3 years |
| Purchased At: | black river adventurers |
| Strengths: | none that I can think of! |
| Weaknesses: | bearings, races. |
| Similar Products Tried: | cane creek, FSA orbit |
| Bike Setup: | 00' fuji suncrest sx, full xt with sexy easton parts. |
| Bottom Line: | I had this headset for approximately three years and I could never keep the headset tight enough. I retourqued after almost every ride. I purchased a azonic headlock to help rememdy problem but that also failed. Eventually this headset warped my head tube and ruined my frame. I am now using an FSA orbit on my BPstealth and I love it! Go spend the money on an FSA and forget about it. |

Love reviews like Matt's below..... "USED IT FOR 3 YEARS CAN BUY IT FOR 10 BUCKS THOROUGHLY THRASHED IT (never needed servicing) I DOUBT I WOULD TRUST BUYING ANOTHER ONE.."!!!!!!!!!!! (Then he gives it 4 chillis for Value!) Can anyone tell me of anything else on the bike that you can thrash for 3 years and replace it the for the same for 10 bucks?

| Weaknesses: | not the strongest thing out there, but it served me well. |
| Similar Products Tried: | nothin' |
| Bike Setup: | 99 Trek 7000 with a bunch of upgrades i don't care to list |
| Bottom Line: | This thing came on my Trek 7000, which i bought in february of '99. I have thoroughly thrashed this bike. this bike has been through street sessions, more trials than a mountian bike should, commuting, and above all, lots and lots of XC. only once has the thing been taken apart and serviced, which was when i replaced the fork. that was when the bike was about 2 years old. anyway, lately i have noticed a crackling sound coming from the headtube, which i have deduced is the headset probably cracked. and it doesn't surprise me. i am not going to say that the thing is crap, because it isn't; but it is no king headset. i have seen the thing retail for 10 bucks, and if for that, i think you get a decent product. but i personally am hoping (note wording) to get a king headset. The bottom line is that it held up pretty well during the three years i used it. but that is just my experience. i doubt i would trust buying another one though. |

| Weaknesses: | Plastic cap doesn't look all that great |
| Similar Products Tried: | None |
| Bike Setup: | Cannondale M900 |
| Bottom Line: | One of the only original parts on my Cannondale that still works. It came on the bike, the only difference I can imagine is that I swapt the standard fork with a RockShox, and in the proces greased the headset with plenty of water-resistant lithium-based high pressure grease. Also replaced the bottom cage with loose balls, a habit from a long time ago. I only took it apart a month ago, after six years of neglect. It rains half the year in Holland and I've took my bike halfway trough Europe, ALWAYS off road. Even drove into a lake a few years ago, no problem. So I guess the secret is to use lots of high quality grease and to stay away from high pressure cleaners. |

| Bottom Line: | S'ok I guess. Not great though. Dirt cheap to buy (ten quid) and seems to be built from reasonable grade materials. Nice'n'squeaky after a few miles so regular greasing is neccesary. Fills with crap easily so get Lizard skin or similar to protect it with. Much better than anything quilled, so as a cheap entry to the world of A-heads go for it! Reviewed as is, no point comparing it to a hundred quid headset now is there, unfortunately some people seem unable to realise that not everyone can afford or wants to spend huge amounts of moola on their bike. |

| Similar Products Tried: | NOthing can stoop this low |
| Bike Setup: | Schwinn 95 .3 Hardtail |
| Bottom Line: | THis was horrible 80 miles in 1 1/2 weeks of cross country riding. I use a lizard skin to protect my headsets and always have done well in the past with others. Of the 80 miles I've used this on Porbably 30 miles was in some mud and slope from rain in days before. But now what happens after 80 miles creaks and some slop. Pull it apart past the point of even attempt to degrease regrease and then pack again. HOrrible headset and it's getting nothing close to a fire as this should not be used by anyone. You get what you pay for and trust me 20 more bucks could get you something much more durable than this. I've since upgraded to a nice creek headset and love it with over 400 miles of some of the nastiest terrain. Only clean once and a peice of cake to assemble. |

| Similar Products Tried: | FSA Cane Creek King |
| Bottom Line: | If you ride on pavement, this is not a bad headset at all. If your bike ever sees dirt, get something else. Contamination, flimsy, and rough are some of the words that come to mind with this headset. Since this is a mountain biking site, I will rate low on value (even though it is cheap) and overall under the assumption that everybody here is riding off-road. Keep this headset for you neighborhood cruiser, where it is better than most threaded but leave it there. It is only a pretend headset for off-road. Sure everybody can't go out and get a Chris King or Cane Creek S-5 but there are plenty good headsets less than $50 if you look hard. Even though this is a part that works best when you don't think about it, don't be afraid to spend a little extra on it. I'd rather think about the trail than the headset myself. |

If the first generation was better than subsequent, I would be suprised. No experience servicing it tho---It still is smooth, so why mess witha good thing? |

Maybe if you are an extreme rider you would see some problems, but then again, this isn't what a lower priced headset is for. And the price of $80? It think people are rating the wrong headset. The one I have cost about $20. |

The other seal, made out of cheap plastic was quick to go. I've cleaned and restacked it myself several times, and it is a big pain! Repeat after me: simplify! Yeah, they're a lot of money, but after trying to settle for a LBS Tange replacement, I'm going to buy a high dollar cartridge jobbie (probably Cane Creek)! |

OK - im not about to go criticize the performance of this headset, cause i havent fu$%ing got it on yet. I actually stopped my headset/fork install to tell everyone NOT to buy this headset unless they have hawkeye vision and alot of patience. The cartridge type bearings fall apart EASILY and the little balls fall to the floor and get lost real quick. Originally they start with 29 balls per cartirdge (I am down to 27 on the bottom cartridge THANKS) To anyone who gets suckered into this by cambria (or anyone else blowing them out) please be careful. they may well be a good headset perofrmance wise, but I pity the designer of this product, we are not dealing with a normal brain. to someone considering this but hasnt gotten it yet, DONT. remember this is the diacompa AC headset, the only one with cartridge type bearings. STEER CLEAR, good luck if i could give this negative 5 chilles for shitty design, i would in a heart beat |

Good grief, I can't believe all of the lousy reviews for these headsets. A message to the Plug-N-Play generation (of which I'm a part): THESE ARE NOT SEALED BEARINGS!!! YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO CLEAN THEM REASONABLY OFTEN. Cleaning a threadless headset is easy and just takes a few minutes. Undo the stem pinch bolt and star-nut bolt, remove the fork, de-grease and re-grease the bearings, and put it all back together. Headset works great again in 15 minutes, tops. It's cheap and will last a long time if properly maintained. Unless you live somewhere where mud and rain are constants (e.g. Seattle/Vancouver area), save your cash and stick to ball bearing headsets. The only thing I can think of that would make these headsets any better would be a set of seals to keep water from getting in to the frame tubes themselves (like the RaceFace headset). It's a whole lot harder to dry your frame out than it is your headset. |

This is an update on my Diacompe Aheadset problems. Called up Diacompe customer service. Got their number off the Cane Creek website on the net. Incidentally cane creek is made by Diacompe FYI. the guy at diacompe said he would send me a brand new headset free of charge but said that he doubted that the headset had a manufacturing defect. He said it probably wasn't adjusted properly, wasn't installed properly or wasn't properly maintained. He said that manufacturing defects were very rare in their products. I didn't think of it at the time but Ishould have told him to look at this product page and see all the people who have had a problem with Diacompe aheadsets. I will upgrade my previous rating by one star because of the excellent customer service. |

| Bottom Line: | I got the DiaCompe Kontak DL when I added a suspension fork to my bike and needed to go threadless. I had a small problem with the bottom race fiting the steer tube of the fork, but there was so little play several local techs just told me to use LocTite. 300 miles of Colorado climbing and descending and no problems yet. The thing is super smooth. I had heard about the cracking of the plastic cap and bought a metal one (even has AheadSet name on it) for $5. Some of those techs also warned me about the bottom seals coming loose when they get muddy, so I put on a Lizard Skins head seal. No problems whatsoever. I plan on riding this bike into the ground and replacing it with a custom built one. I'll get a King on that, but untill then, the DC is working just dandy. Three chile's cause of the extra stuff I needed to get. |
