Review on Origin8 Pro Threaded Headset - 1 Inch Steerer by Brandon Hilton

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Updated approx 3,000 miles

Installed this on my Giant Team CFR road bike about 200 miles ago (circa 1998?). I had to buy a 5mm spacer as the 10mm stock was too thick. There are many tutorial videos on YouTube including how to create your own headset removal and installation tools. So I made my own tools for about $22 and saved a lot of money. This headset is beautifully finished and very sleek. My old headset made my steering wheel feel like a ratchet. Now she is smooth. Update 01/02/2020 After 5,000 miles this headset is as smooth as it was originally. Not as sexy as Chris King but works great.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
