POAH
unless you need a colour why bother. Black nukeproof neutron one is cheap enough.
Headsets for me are one or the other… Nukeproof/Brand-X or Hope …
If you don’t mind changing cheap bearings when you do a fork service then NP/Brand-X .. if you don’t want to bother checking/replacing bearings Hope. I still wipe and re-grease anyway so wasted money for me and it takes all of a minute.
What I can’t understand are the crap + expensive headsets … like Superstar or FSA.
I’ve swapped out all the FSA Orbits for NP when the bearings needed changing. Never had to change a Hope one. 2 I put in to convert a straight steerer (at the time that was Hope or CC) – both outlasted our use of the bike and I know for one the second owner as well. (The Cannondale)
The other Hope came with my frame and has never needed new bearings either but like I say its a 1 minute job when servicing forks anyway but I suppose if people like to pressure wash their headsets the Hope might be worth it.
