Favorite Ride:
Tailwind please

Bike Setup:
Colnago C40, 1" steerer

Summary:
Very well made, easy to install and remove with good availability of small parts. I don't ride off road and at my weight, headsets last forever if properly lubed, cleaned and adjusted. I wish it came in black, that's the only gripe which is non-function related.

Strengths:
Nicely made, low stack height, top and bottom, may appeal to some. Functionally excellent. Easy to install and remove with excellent availability of parts.

Weaknesses:
None except that it's not a Chris King, but then again, it's cheaper. Doesn't come in black, a small cosmetic point.

Summary:
Does the job. What else is there to say about headsets. Ask me in 5,000 miles. Rate it a 4 until I see more miles.

Strengths:
Cool carbon cap, 1 1/8" availability

Weaknesses:
Was installed incorrectly so that bearings were extremely stiff, but seems ok now. Don't use star-nut in carbon forks.
