Hey lads/lassies,
Quick question. Are the lower seals on conventional cage-bearing headsets usually cross compatible? The one on my current headset is… ehhh… pretty deformed, which means it isn’t sitting right and is probably the source of my stiff draggy steering issues. Now, I figure I can go ahead and ride it today anyway, but I should get a replacement. Question is, if I nab one for a campagnola/FSA/whatever-I-can-find headset, will it work alright with my own no-name headset? Bound to be cheaper than a new headset and the bearings haven’t gotten much abuse anyway, so it’d be a shame to replace it before it’s time.
