I fancy slackening off my hardtail’s head angle – so what are my options? Do Cane Creek do an angleset for 1 1/8th? And is it true that there’s another manufacturer doing a 1 1/8th product at a fraction of the price of Cane Creek, but for an equally good (if not better) product? Any tips welcome. Plus where to buy? Ta v much.

works components.

different to a cane creek in that it doesnt do the ‘gimble’ thing, ie self adjust to your headtube length so you need to specify your frames headtube length when ordering.

unlike cane creek they do offer 1 1/8th. also unlike cane creek, it stays tight and doesnt creak. ive had both and my money would definitely go with the works every time, its about 1/3 of the price too!

Great – thanks slowrider – just the sort of info I was looking for. Do the Works headsets use a sealed cartridge bearing for a reasonably long and trouble-free life?

yep
