New for the autumn is an expanded range of the ever popular Orbit MX headset. Alloy top cap with star nut. Weight - 95 grams (without cap and Starnut). We are also proud to introduce our own range of quality accessories and tools that we have researched, sourced and tested from top quality manufacturers in Taiwan.
Replaced OEM headset with this MX unit. Install went fine, no issues. My only concern is the long-term health of the rubber seals above and below the bearings. There is a thin lip/flange on the outer edge of the seals. This is what you don't see in the picture of the headset at the top which makes the top cap appear to levitate. It is of similar design as Chris King so who am I to question those experts of Engineering? It just makes me wonder why have that space there at all? And all rubber dries up and cracks eventually, especially a piece less that 1 mm thick. But if in 10 years I have the headset running fine (and remember I bought it on eBay), I'll come back and change my review to 5 stars.
Good quality, sealed bearings, installed easily (I made my own press out of a long 1/2" bolt, washers and nuts. Worked really, really well.) Smooth operation, no loose play, I would recommend.
I bought this to replace and old school bearing and race set up. It all went together pretty smoothly and so far works well and looks good. One thing to consider might be stack height. This set up is taller than my old one but I had enough steer tube to work with it.
