Cane Creek launches World Bicycle Relief headset

Wow so for what we can afford to spend on just a headset, that can afford to pay for a whole bike for an african.

So we pay £1000s for rugged, light, strong bikes with good suspension that let you travel at speed over rough ground. But we only use them for fun, and just at weekends. While the people who actually need decent mountain bikes get rugged but antiquated, rigid, singlespeed town bikes. 

I really hope all this MTB tech trickles down to the developing countries soon....They need it more than we do

What waste of money

Which bit? The headset or the bikes?

I'm vaguely tempted to buy one to actually use and wear out

Nice box, mind.

"The WBR Reserve headsets are made in Cane Creek's factory in Fletcher, North Carolina."

I wonder where people in North Carolina think Africa is.

I might have one.

Georgia - next town to Athens.

  I am not clever enough to be able to see the picture in the original post, what am I missing? Is this the thread that only attracts surrealists, or are there matters of some import to discuss?
