I own a Giant XTC frame (2009 or 2010) which I'm told requires a semi-integrated headset (Cups are already pressed into headtube). There are that many different headsets available I'm confused what to buy ... can anyone offer any help?
Best advice I can offer is to make sure it come with crown race 😀
As I recall it is an FSA semi on 45 degree bearings but your local Giant dealer should be able to give you the part code or have it in stock.
You need a zero stack headset in either 1.5" or 1'1/8 depending on your forks steerer size. Hope and Cane creek do decent models. google Zero stack. HTH.
Have a good look here if you want to understand different headset standards. http://www.parktool.com/blog/repair-help/headset-standards
Cane Creek ZS, or FSA Orbit Z
