 ............sooooooooo, new frame - need new headset, but which one?  . Have'nt bought one for years so suggest a reasonably priced headset for me 853 Inbred.

 XL2 Been using one of these for years and it still runs smooth!
|
|
 Hope
|
|
I have been, you mong. What headset??
|
|
 King.
: )
The Hope on my singlespeed is stupidly over sealed, but they apparently aren't the most reliable... But I've had no issues with it.
|
|
I've never had any issues with Hope headsets, best for the money IMO. Greenville is too tight to purchase a CK.

PMJ - I'd love to be able to spend that much on a headset but I don't think Mrs Gs affability would stretch that far. I was pretty lucky to get away with the new frame!! Reasonably priced, then...........?

Cane creek headsets are good too G-man, I think the S2 or S3 is the one to go for with sealed bearings, about £35.
|
|
 Sunline v1, best headset i've used and only 40odd quid
|
|
Have had Cane Creek amongst the many [6] headsets over the years now on a hope and have been for 2 years all its needed is just a slight adjust in that time. Dont think I would fit any other.

I have used many different headsets including Hope. I've come to realise that I was throwing money away. The FSA XL2 works just the same as the Hope and costs half the price. I won't use any other headset from now on. Infact, I'm waiting for one at the mo that's in the post...
|
|
Think it's gonna be a XLII - just checked the S/S and that's what is fitted to it. Ta, people
|

Just bought a Thompson seatpost from On-One for £45
|
|
 Blinging it then G'man?
|
|
King in blue or orange!!! I got blue! So nice and runs perfectly!!
|
|
 red Hope headdsets are smoother
|
|
No I think you'll find black ones run a lot smoother still
|
|
On-one Smoothie? I'm impressed by mine so far.
