[#3557570]

Ive been told that this [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=55504 ]nukeproof[/url] will fit the [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=74580 ]2010 Kona Kula Lisa[/url] but I was hoping for something a little more lightweight. I thought that this [url= http://www.wiggle.co.uk/cane-creek-40-series-zerostack-1-18-inch-headset/ [/url]cane creek 40[/url] might, but just noticed it is

Road:yes mtb:no

Is the nukeproof actually a reasonable weight and are there any other options in the <Hope price bracket that will fit? modern headset/headtube size/compatibility greatly confuses my feeble little mind!

Looks like on paper they are pretty much the same weight ?

Edit: 30g difference ? 😯

Have a look at the [url= http://superstar.tibolts.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=25&products_id=114 ]Superstar zero stack[/url] too - I fitted one to my Kona Five-O - very nice sealed headset . . . and look at all the lovely colours 😛

hmmm...looks like the FSA is the front runner by 20grams on the Superstar (marginal gains and all that 😆 ) but the Superstar is available in silver which would go nicely with the seatclamp 🙄

Mustard, I'm a big fan of these cane Creek S8 headsets. They used to retail for around £60.

I've got one of the FSA ones in black, brand new never fitted that came with my new frame if you're interested give me a shout.
Looking for £30 posted 1st class.
