Looks good in parts and components

Nice black color with no surface issues. Pre-lubricated bearings, although you'll probably want to lubricate them after delivery. Have to deal with installation as my old headset is stuck.

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure

You pay for what you get.

Installed correctly. But there was an easy game in the neck. Eventually I took it to Block Bikes in Lancaster, California. Professionals replaced the product with a better one, which cost me $40.

Pros
  • Excellent design
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Fits and works perfectly

After emailing the seller confirming actual size, I ordered this way, it was delivered quickly after a slight delay in shipping . It fits perfectly as it should and is well lubricated, but I added more Pink Bird lube. So smooth, better than a brand new OEM.

Pros
  • nice item
Cons
  • I don't remember but something was

Matte finish ideal for cycling

Thin chrome plating and rough finish. I got this because I needed a replacement mug for an old Fuji I'm restoring. I kept most of the original headset and just used the bottom shell and locking nut from that set. The shortcomings become clear when you look at it next to the original headset.

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Good price for Sports

Fits a 1986 GT I'm rebuilding it and works as expected It was a little thinner than I wanted but for what it is it's a great price and looks good on the bike. I'm attaching a photo, I haven't cut the forks yet so the top cap hasn't been installed yet. The seat rails were black so I snapped this headset together, I also bought a black Revain bottom bracket from the same manufacturer.

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • I'll add later

Works Great!: Parts & Components

Pretty good headset. The only downside is that the race only contains 16 bearings, which is quite small compared to what I see, most of them have 18-22 bearings. The bearings are 5/32. This is easily fixed by loosening the ball. I took a heck of a lot of time installing because I didn't realize the cups that fit in the tube were different, I thought they were the same. I accidentally swapped them, it doesn't work. I finally figured it out and have the bottom on the bottom and the top on theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Absolutely Amazing!
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

Very good. Best in Parts & Components

I used this to replace a stock 1" steel steering column. dirt in the bearings), but is also silky smooth. I had to keep the original fork crown race as the one that came with this set was too small to ever fit on the fork, but the original looked the same and was in good shape. The bore was only a micron larger or about (I couldn't tell with my own eyes, but it had to be.) Maybe I just have a weird fork, but you might want to keep that in mind.

Pros
  • Happy so far
Cons
  • I'll write back later

Check the steering column of the bike

Most 1 inch threaded yokes have a groove in the threads that accepts a lug washer. This headset does not have a lug washer - I used a washer from my old headset to keep the cup and locking ring from moving together. The key to the headset's performance is the bike's steering column. Does it have two parallel faces at 90 degrees to the pipe? Then the cups should sit nicely. With an inexpensive headset, the steering can be great. It won't look great, but if set up correctly it will work greatโ€ฆ

Pros
  • It's OK!
Cons
  • Expensive

Good price for parts and components

Specification added. Customer picture sheet so other customers can determine if it will work with this bike as NOBODY lists dimensions on amaz*n. This is made for older (mostly post WW2) English (SAE) single speed and multi speed motorcycles. I used this kit to replace bearings on a '79 Schwinn Breeze. I ended up using all the original rings because the new ones won't fit (I have a 1 1/4" fork tube). I would also recommend using old washers, locknuts and a top nut. The outer rings also have aโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
