Ive been told that this nukeproof will fit the 2010 Kona Kula Lisa but I was hoping for something a little more lightweight. I thought that this cane creek 40 might, but just noticed it is
Road:yes mtb:no

Is the nukeproof actually a reasonable weight and are there any other options in the <Hope price bracket that will fit? modern headset/headtube size/compatibility greatly confuses my feeble little mind!

Looks like on paper they are pretty much the same weight ?

Edit: 30g difference ?

Have a look at the Superstar zero stack too - I fitted one to my Kona Five-O - very nice sealed headset . . . and look at all the lovely colours

hmmm...looks like the FSA is the front runner by 20grams on the Superstar (marginal gains and all that ) but the Superstar is available in silver which would go nicely with the seatclamp

Mustard, I'm a big fan of these cane Creek S8 headsets. They used to retail for around £60.

I've got one of the FSA ones in black, brand new never fitted that came with my new frame if you're interested give me a shout.
Looking for £30 posted 1st class.
