Which 1.5 reducer headset

what does the marketing man say?

I bet you couldn't tell the difference.

Time for Dean to do a blind feel test.

I'm glad that apparantly I'm not the only one addicted to Robot Unicorn Attack.

My brothers' FSA Orbit Z has been without any issues ever since he picked it up. That being said, I think I'll go with the XXc-Flush since it's a bit lower and lighter.

I'm curious, which way did you change the head angle on your Rune?

2 degrees slacker

Thanks for the info Dean.

I really wanted to get a new bike this year but kitchen reno comes first (so I am told!) So I amanged to snag a new-old-stock version of my frame for $230. But I always wanted a slacker HA. Now I just have to double check the heat tube length on the new frame and I will be good to go!

Thanks again!

For sure - angleset seems one of the coolest things that a reducer headset affords. Changing your head angle without changing your suspension travel, what better way to dial in the feel of your bike, or a cheap way to get a change when you build the bike for a different purpose.

I've been using nothing but FSA pigs for years..

I've never had a problem , installed and forgot about it

they are awesome if u want cheap, reliable,strong

there are places were gucci are warranted, but a headset is not one of them if you ask me

For a counter-sample, I've had nothing but problems with my 1.5" looseball FSA lower cup (same as pig,) it's teamed with a ZS-type top cup and the thing constantly comes loose on my DH bike.

A buddy of mine had a similar experience with a 1.5 pig. wouldn't stay tight, and that was on a shore with a 1.5 domain.

That said, the orbit xtreme pro 1.5 on my Rune is excellent.

Moral? While you don't need to break the bank, spend the cake to get a cartridge bearing headset.

I have run a loose ball pig for MANY years now and yes, they worked great as long as you kept it all greased up and happy. The reason I went with the hope is a lower stack height and it's half the weight of the FSA Pig DH Pro.

pigs are just unnecesarily heavy, its like the headset version of a Banshee Scream

I use the one from superstarcomponents.co.uk very light and cheap.

Where is the cheapest place to get an angleset? didnt see any on pricepoint or hucknroll

usually don't find many great sales on brand new items in any industry

wait another year and you'll start to see em on discount websites probably
