Looking at it locically (Jim…..) thre’s no reason press fit, in itself, should be any less reliable than HT2, is there?
It’s the bearings that matter, not what’s holding them to the frame, yes?
And, after all, we use press fit headsets don’t we? And nobody complains about those.
And, of course, press fit offers some distinct advantages when you sit down and think about it.
No cross threading
Easier and faster to remove with less chance of getting it wrong, as you just bosh them in, they aren’t ‘sided’
And if one bearing wears out more than another, you can move it over to the other side!
I would, however, LOVE to see a complete ‘Guide to Press fit BBs’ showing all the different types and sizes, what’s interchangeable and what tool you need to remove them 🙂
