you make threads for every part you buy.

Don't get the Origin 8, it's not very good. And it doesn't matter if the S3/S1 is old because I've been running mine for at least 3 years and still have people saying it's the smoothest headset they've felt.

Well Alex, could you please tell me about the differences in the pics ect?????

Im confused with that.

 

[Steezeman]

With the two links that you posted, the Ebay link is probably just an older headset. Older being the difference between an '09 and a '10.

 

[nitroRCs]

Ahhh.... Theres an older and new version. Now im not confused.

Alright, i think im gonna buy this:http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Cane-Creek-S...Accessories&hash=item563c0dc3a7#ht_500wt_1154

Is that what i need?
Is that the new version?
Will it fit on my scooter?

THANKYOU!!!!!!!!

 

[Jeremy Dalgliesh]

Yes it is the right one.
It will fit.
Ask him anyway as he might know just to be certain.

this is off the topic but u seem to be the expert at this.

Which way looks better or is better when u hot glue wheells (razor pro)?

Slicing it off like ur way or when u just glued it putting another piece of tape on the other side to flatten it.

 

[nitroRCs]

It depends.

If you are going to be using the tape, then you have to put the EXACT right amount of glue on the wheel or when you put the tape on, the glue will spread over the whole wheel and trust me, its not fun getting it back off.

If you slice it, then you can do it all much easier, and if you dont want the finish that slicing it leaves, just slice it, then put the wheels in boiling water, it smooths out the lines.

Thanks.

its still in ur price range.

 

[nitroRCs]

That has a cracked crown race and has been put on a bike before. I want a BRAND NEW one....

I think ill stick with the one i posted. Seems good.

 

[Jeremy Dalgliesh]

i also recommend checking ur local bike shops they would have some good headsets also heres a brand new on also from china but cheaper: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/CANE-CREEK-S...pt=AU_Sport_Cycling_Parts&hash=item4aa31bfea6

 

[nitroRCs]

The local bikeshops around me are heaps dear.

And i saw that one ages ago, but i aint waiting 4 weeks for shipping lol.

 

[Steele.M]

i got a cane creek se-2k runs pretty good and if your the kind of person that your scooter gets bashed up well the headsets made of chromoly and went dint or break so thats a plus and its sealed

 

[nitroRCs]

Alright, i just received my Cane Creek S-8.

Will post pics and let you know how it goes when i put it on.

 

[salamiiscooter]

s-1 honestly sucks balls, i had one not to long ago, now i have a "neuclear DABOMB" sealed, its honestly the best headset out there, going for 70 bucks. i bought it at my local bmx shop though. if not, s-3 is the way to go

 

[Jeremy Dalgliesh]

how much did it cost and how is it?
The only thing i hate about some headsets is that some only come in 1 or 2 colour lol.
