Need a new one for a 97 Zaskar. FSA Orbit 2 still decent these days? (yes, it's been that long since I've purchased a headset!)
Can you not get a cheap second hand Chris King?
Seconded on the the chris king, you shouldn't have to buy another.
Yeah 2nd hand King for about $100 (50/60bquid). Always fancied a blingy one. J&l industries does a nice ti one for $100 too. Anyone tried these?
My go to external headset, lasts years
Probs sting me on import charges and delivery....
May have fked up. Ordered an anodised blue FSA stem off ebay for $40 - standard 1 1/8th but noticed 34 and 44mm sizing.... Ordered a 34mm and paid but now I'm like what.... 34 or 44mm that's not a measurement I recall from other headset purchases!!! Have I just bought something that won't fit?
34mm is the old skool straight head tube. 44mm is newer straight head tube that'll also take a tapered fork, or the top of a tapered head tube. 34 is what you want I would think.
Yup I bought correctly.
I'm my eagerness to fit it... (sans correct tools) I fitter the new one with a block of wood and a rubber mallet. Bahaha. Went in like a dream.
