So, everyone seems to slate Crank Bros Directsets (Full disclosure - I've got one and it seems fine one year in) but I posted a wanted ad for one for an old bike that has a slightly short steerered fork and I'm a bit suprised by the lack of response.
Now, is it because the ones that have apparently died in one ride with a few drops of rain have exploded like a 29er wheel on the Quantocks or do they go to headset heaven without passing Go or do people actually secretly keep them under their pillow in the hope that the headset fairly will replace them with a nice shiny pound coin (or more likely a crap fake, judging by the ones in my pocket)?
Over to you

A directset, shortly before its death after one ride.
