Cane Creek Aheadsets opinions?

I've personally had nothing I like from this company. My road bike comes with a CC aheadset with a stupid bung system that doesn't hold tension despite me thinking I'm tightening it up, I've loosened off the stem bolts first. The top bearing race was so insubstantial I thought it was missing. What happened to the old star washer system? has that gone these days?. This bike has carbon forks so bought a colnago fork expander system instead with a standard top cap so fingers crossed, but read it should be tightened to 8nm with a torque wrench. So now I need to buy one of those... Bring back external cups and bearings for Gods sake. Bearings in the headtubes crap, its probably all about speed of assembly at the factory, since a loose headset now means destroying your frame.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
