Cane Creek S8 and S2?

[NickOlson]

I remember someone told me they were much better than the s3's, and they're the same price so... are these any good? Better than an fsa dh pro or district pro?

also, anyone know about the cane creek s2? any good

 

[Grant Schofield]

if its the same as a s3 why not?

 

[NickOlson]

well I don't know if that's true, and I've never used an s3 so I don't know if they're good

 

[nick silverman]

s-1 and s-3 are amzing headsets

 

[NickOlson]

how about the s2?

 

[Grant Schofield]

i have an s1 and my friend has an s3 the s3 spins to fast for me i like my s1 but its your scooter so you choose but the s series make great headsets

 

[TomK]

S1 will last longer than the S3 and S8. S1's are the only headsets I will ride.

 

[NickOlson]

tom what about the s2?

 

[TomK]

Never used one, so I can't say.

 

[NickOlson]

well thanks that kind of changes my mind about the s8 knowing that the s1 will last longer

Ive had my s8 for nearly a year now and it is still running good, its been installed and removed roughly six times between different decks and its not damaged at all, after about 6 months it started getting a bit slow and less smooth, but then i lubed the bearings up with sewing machine oil and it felt nearly new again.

i broke the top sealed bearing on my s-3 it kinda sucks

 

[spittfirescoot]

idk about the s3 but i have the s1 it was ok but it is not the best annymore it broke

Not exactly.
An S-1 and S-3 are very good headsets. But the S-3 cups are made out of a different time of material then the S-1 steel cups. The actual cup that you hammer in will snap off, from experience. Although the S-3 does spin alot smoother then the similar S-1. The cups from the S-3 are weaker!
