ok so its .5g heavier then the AM but has more bearings, not a huge difference in price, a bit nicer looking than a King, so anyone got one? I'm genuinely interested in any feedback on Crank Bros headsets as I think I'll go get me one!
(I know back up's good because of the 2pure factor!)
Overpriced toss.
haha, care to elaborate?
do you think Crank Brothers are "all about the packaging"?
Yes. The FSA pig pro is all you need if you want a tough headset.
Opium SL vs Pig pro isn't an apples with apples comparison.
Crank bros headsets are aimed at weight weenies... or in this case DH race. Pig pro is 3 times heavier so wouldn't be that appropriate on a trail bike.
I really like the idea of the outer race being the headset cup and whilst it means you have to replace the whole unit should the bearings wear out.. I've never replaced just the bearings on a regular headset but the whole unit anyway. Plus you get a 5yr warranty to boot.
I guess time will tell if this is a design genius or another thing for people to moan about with CB.
Crank Bros do have the best packaging in the business though 😉
Now, if only they did them in semi integrated sizing.
