Txn Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 It’s been a while since I’ve built up a bike. What is everyone’s current favorite headset for the non-Chris King crowd? Are the basic Cane Creek headsets still good? Also, does anyone have a regular headset bumping around the parts bin they’d be willing to let go of? 1-1/8”, straight Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AustinBike Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 I have kings on a few of my bikes, but if I were buying one, I'd probably go down the Cane Creek route. Have one on my squishy and it is fine. Kings are nice but have a hell of a premium for somewhere that you don't really notice the difference. Spend your money on things like brakes, gears and suspension where you can feel the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattlikesbikes Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 $50 can usually get you a used king and you'll never have to worry about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntonioGG Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 My experience is my King headsets have never had bearings replaced. My Cane Creek headsets have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
