Do you want one with or without a crown race?

I haven't had a good experience with the on-one headset - needed regreasing very regularly and didn't stay agjusted.

Got one of the Hope 'pick and mix' ones now and it's a lot better.

Worth spending the extra £20 for Hope, imo.

Agreed - get a Hope - helpful guys, great stuff. We use them to save bother - it's all a minefield right now (as are BBs nowadays too, AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!).

Superstar do one.

Careful thought, there are a couple of different head tube options to be aware of, integrated or external upper race, integrated and external lower race with two diameters of lower head tube available, it's a minefield out there in headset land! My advise is use the 4 digit headset codes as a reference, Superstar reference them and they're normally on the frame manufacturers spec pages for every bike/frame.

Hope that helps
