They are one of the few companies doing taper headsets for 44mm headtubes...and they are a good price too.

Anyone experience any of their headsets? Any good? Bearing life ok?

You get what you pay for in my opinion

Cane Creek, Hope, Chris King - all with a decent reputation for bearing life but are equally expensive

Uberbike and superstar don't make bearings - they make shiny aluminium bits. They want to make a profit so I'd imagine their bearings will be reasonably cheap and not particularly well sealed.

I've not used Uberbike headsets or bottom brackets but have used SSC, cane creek, hope and CK. SS was the only one I had to replace bearings in - not massively expensive tho and the headset cups were the right colour

If their headsets are as good as their bottom brackets I have, then I would say yes. Obviously this is my opinion from a consumer of their products 😉
