Specialized have a habit of trying to bully/sue small companies out of existance so they can steal their ideas

Up until this story broke I was a huge Spesh fanboi. Haven't bought anything from them since.

[i]It doesn't feel robust enough as a solution for mountain bikes. Dropping bearings loose into a frame feels like they would be, well, loose, which is not going to be a good thing.[/i]

Meanwhile back in the real world , it's no different to locating cartridge bearings ( as most campag systems are) in a headset cup.

Low stack height and no pressing headset cups into a frame ( no biggie, but nice not to have to do)
