Horrible Headset, Wasted My Money

Based on my experience, this headset is not worth purchasing. Despite its carbon material, it was poorly made and did not fit my bike properly. The installation process was a nightmare and it ended up causing more problems than solutions on my bike. The only pro was that it was lightweight. The cons, on the other hand, were too many to list. Save yourself the hassle and steer clear of this product when looking for cycling gear in Sports and Outdoors.

Pros
  • Lightweight and durable carbon construction provides a smooth and stable ride.
Cons
  • Requires careful installation and adjustment to prevent damage or malfunction.

Cracked head on parts and components

As soon as I tightened the clear coat cracked around the head of the bolt. Update: I installed the replacement they sent me and tightened the cap with no problem. Looks good! Thank you!

Pros
  • Ideal for road and MTB bikes
Cons
  • Almost OK

Headset cover not strong

When I tightened them, the surface ("sticker" that looks like carbon fiber) cracked a bit, so it's obvious that it flexes and doesn't flex a fixed part. This part plays an important role in tightening the threadless headset. While I like the look of this part, I am very concerned about whether it can actually get the job done. You want that Part is made of durable metal, and I think it's mostly plastic, I'll definitely use a different one next time.

Pros
  • Fits stems and forks of 1 1/8" road and mountain bikes
Cons
  • Protection
