  • I just bought a Phil Wood hub from Aspirevelotech and they marked it's value as $25 without me having to ask. Paid no tax.

    thats brilliant news. im getting two phil hubs and a king headset soon.

  • Any chance that I could drop some PayPal to you when you do it and get in on the order? Save postage costs and all that?

    Gutted if they'd gone missing

  • shimano 105!

    Shipping is free...

    Pretty sure they'd have honoured it - they're a good company

  • Thinking of a new HS for my new build. It has to be 1" threaded.

    I don't want to spend a load, but thought it might be worth going for something other than the Tange - mainly bc of looks.

    The 2 runners are the Miche Primato Mushrom Tip ~£25

    and the FSA Duron X ~ £40

    TBH I'm prolly not going to spend £40 on a headset, so its really the Miche. As some of their other componants get slated I thought I'd just ask if anyone here had experience of them?

    Hippy? Didn't you have one?

  • If it's a nice bike you'll ride a lot get a Chris King.

    If it's not then anything will do. It's only a headset and when it ain't a King, there ain't much in it.

  • There's something wrong with that picture ^

  • yeah, the top cap has been put on wonky.

  • No, it's not a Chris King. How did you notice that? Wearin your bins for once??

  • cheers for the replies.

    Max - NO CKs! 1) bc I can't afford it (well I can, but I'd rather spend it on something else); 2) they look GASH.

    sasmon - considered campag accept that the Record, like a CK, is hideously expensive and...well hideous. Altho I love Campag, DA mos def wins on this one:

    Dovvles - Stronglight is a good suggestion. Cheap and they're generally good quality.

    The other thing I just realised is, I don't know how to measure what stack height I need. I can take a guess - headtube (less) bottom cup (less) steerer, but the problem is the bottom cups - are they all roughly the same height?
