A person in the club has a similar bike to me, I asked them about the headset. They said that the bearings sit in this metal ring, but they are loose apart from sitting in this ring. Apparently there were problems with the fork rattling inside the headtube. Upon inspection of the bearings by a mechanic, they were completely destroyed, the person said. The mechanic brought them out, and the ring the bearings rolled around in was broken in three pieces, and the bearings were just all over the place. From that description it sounds like its a fully integrated headset. I did check into chris king headsets further, and yes they make no integrated headset, and they say that the headtube would likely have to be re-machined to accept a non-integrated headset. I don't want my bearings to go out like this other's guy had happen to him, thats why I was thinking I could try another type headset, but didn't know what would be involved. Seems a hassle to convert.
