eg FSA Pig or CaneCreek Tank
Stronger but loose bearing so more maintenance I'm guessing.
Any comments please
the pig is a monster.
got one on my dirt bike.
fit and forget .... forever.
its a tiny bit gritty, but i really couldnt care less.
the pig-pro is the same idea, monster marbles of bearings, but cartridge, if its cart your after.
i never envisage those carts needing changing, or even getting noticebly worn
I always have used Pig Pro heasdsets, on my Rock Lobster and now my Dialled Alpine. Fit and forget and cost pennies.
pigs aren't fit and forget at all.. they're absolutely ruined in a few months if you ride in the wet and don't service them - I've also broken a couple of Pig cups.
Yup - bigger bearings corrode like smaller ones!
As GW and cynic-al said, pigs wear badly if you fide in gloopy conditions... I have just replaced my 1.5 one, bearings were shot after a couple weeks, and they weigh a ton. cheep tat. The on one smoothy HD is ment to be realy good for a cheep (ish) HD headset.
However, the raceface deus in my cove is running strong 4-5 years on... minimal servicing as the seals are good...
wouldn't mind one of these:

though doesn't really fit my use profile.
pigs are pretty good, clean 'em out once a year and stick some new grease in and you'll be sorted. Can you still get them?
Pig pro, brilliant. Used to go through Orbit XLIIs every six months before I saw the light. 100g really shouldn't matter, surely that much mud accumulates in the back of your fork? It does for me anyhow!
