If you have Cane Creek headsets on any of your bikes, you can order individual component parts to your headsets through the Cane Creek website. I bought a new S-2 headest (off of Ebay) for my front-end renovation, only to find out the crown race was misshaped, which the LBS told me would not permit the bearing cartridge to seat properly on the race. I thought I was going to have to buy a whole new headset, but I called their customer service number and they pointed me to their website. You can get new bearings, new star nuts, new crown races . . . anything.

Anyway, just thought I'd throw that out there.

It's fairly common for bike companies to offer refurbishment / service items on their website. People sometimes forget this fact.

I've never done any business with the cane creek store but i did notice that there, they have a pretty extensive list of parts too, quite nice. I wish more companies had stores like that.

I too bought a new crown race for an S2 headset. Great service they have there.
