Solid Performer
Have used these headsets on many bikes and have always enjoyed solid performance. They only thing to keep an eye on is wet weather riding. Best to check on the lower headset once a season to make sure everything's greased up and running smoothly.
Pros: Reliable
Cons: Keep an eye on lower bearings in super wet riding.

Pros: interchangeable, easy to install, inexpensive compared to the 110 series
Cons: no color choices

Part 1 of 2 to install a tapered steerer in a 44mm headtube (I have a 2011 5 Spot). You also need the ZS44.
Great quality, very light. I'm very happy with this purchase, and the tapered steerer is awesome!

Yes No Report as InappropriateI used this to install a tapered steerer in my 2008 Giant Trance X.
The extra stack height slackened the head tube a little bit, I'm not sure if this is good or bad, I think I'll just get used to it.
Awesome Cane Creek quality.
Awesome innovation.
Pros: Allows use of tapered steerer in 44mm head tubes.
