Wanted: Decent 1 & 1/8th threadless headset

Erm Ja Ja, my headset is on its way out, and since it only looks like a cheap and cheerful job, looking to maybe pick up something half-decent, Chris Blings considered new/used, or any other reasonably good sealed headset, just plain black or silver, no silly colours please :)

ask dov what he put on his jump bike, half the price of king and twice as solid

True dat.

It's one of these:

Talking of headsets I'm thinking of getting a Chris King Inset for my Felt.

Anyone used one yet?

True dat.

It's one of these:

Very nice, what is the actual make though, its a little hard to make out from the logo?

Looks like they use needle roller bearings on the top as they have a similar looking bearing race to one of my old solid bmx headsets, those things were like the sherman tanks of headsets!

@drivvles, i didn't think it was round?
more of a hex/octagon type shape.

lovrely though(t)

You might be right Murts. Will need to go home and have a butchers.

It's definitely from the same company though, they're called Echo.

This one maybe

nope

Found for £38 here: http://www.selectbikes.com/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=232

Seem like a really nice bit of kit, angular contact bearings, are those not the same as needle roller bearings?
Anyways it seems like a really nice bit of kit, cheers for the heads up.

they're meant for trial riding, so gonna be pretty tough

I think the combination of a disc brake up front, flexy forks, and me not exactly being a small fellow, has taken its toll on my current shitty headset lol.
Gonna pick one of those bad boys up then, should do the job :)

Murts!!!

dat's the one.
looks like you could put a spanner on it.

even cheaper
