Great upgrade over stock bearings.
I replaced the stock headset in my Niner WFO with this guy. The stock one had rusted an seized in just a few months. This headset has much better seals. So far, it is holding up nicely. Double check with your frame maker if there are any shims or spacers needed. This can make all the difference.
Pros: Nice seals, smooth motion.
Cons: Figuring out the right one can be tricky.
