Review on ๐Ÿ”จ FSA Hammer Headset: Durable 1-1/8" 34mm I.D. Headtube in Sleek Black Design by Daniel Jackson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

good base headset or matches parts

Base headset This is very basic, I liked the big lower bearings and the cup but the upper cup assembly wasn't very good. I didn't like that the wedge was a bit exposed. My nearly 20 year old headset seemed to have a better design and the cup and top cap still looked good, so I used new bearings, cleaned the old cup and cap and reused the top half of the headset. I still give 4 stars because the parts seem to be of decent quality and I needed new lower bearings and a crown ring. These parts alone would cost more than the entire FSA kit. In short, if you're looking for something cheap that will help, this will work. If you only need a few parts then this would be fine for parts but I think if you want a nice headset you should consider something that costs a little more.

Pros
  • Several competitors
Cons
  • So far so good
