s3 are really that good?

Im not sure i want to spend 70 on a headset? Are there any cheaper ones?

Best headset you can buy for the value. If you have the money, go for the Cane Creek 110, a little stronger, a little smoother, keeps dirt out better, and comes with a 110 year warranty. So not too much of difference, but either one will do perfectly.

Cane Creek S3's are $30.

Convert that to australian...... its 70.... i was look for like 50-60 lol....

 

[conordavidson]

It's worth it to throw down the extra $10. TRUST ME.

 

[LukeMaff]

How long do you think it would last? and is it easy to put on? becasue i really have no idea how to lol

 

[conordavidson]

It will last years if you treat it right. Installing it can be difficult on your first time. I seriously would recommend taking it to a bike store to get the headset cups and crown race installed. You can make a headset press yourself (that's what I do), I know Madis made a tutorial for one a while back.

 

[LukeMaff]

yeah but 70... thats alottt I mean isnt there one for like 50...that is decent?

 

[conordavidson]

The S3 is basically the cheapest headset your gonna find. It also happens to be one of the best.

Here's how to install it btw: http://scooterresource.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?173688

 

[LukeMaff]

lol but isnt there a problem with getting the thing of the forks? forget what its called...

 

[conordavidson]

The crown race. It can be difficult, but if you can't get it on yourself, go to a bike shop, they'll do it for free or like $2 at the most.

[LukeMaff]

[conordavidson]

[Hep Greg]
