Quality Headset

ProsPremium quality parts that look great and works well.

Just installed it and have ridden about 10 miles. No issues. Every part of the assembly seems top quality, and it looks great. It was easy to install since the crown race is split and it fits tightly on the fork.

The hard part was installing the cups with the logos parallel. I installed the top cup first with what I think was a parallel logo, then used a spirit level to line up the logo on the bottom cup with the top.

The headset also comes with 3 optional 0.4mm shims that can be used between the top compression ring and top cap, but I found that I didn't need any as the rubber seal is right without being overly tight, and the steering is free and not binding.
