Need advice on replacment for 1" threadless headset
My road bike's Cane Creek SL-5 (oem) 1" (integrated?) threadless headset is worn out.
I realize most newer headsets are 1-1/8" now. Any suggestions of what
make/model to use as a replacement? I've seen Cane Creek & Chris King
1" headsets, but they are not the integrated type. There is one from FSA called
Orbit CE. It seems rather inexpensive which concerns me per it's quality.

I did search via Google later last night and found that Cane Creek makes an S2 integrated 1" headset. However, Chris King site
is a bit confusing (I'm not a headset expert) as to whether or not they offer an "integrated" 1" headset.
Also, I was hoping to hear from others per brand/model suggestions other than these two companies.
Crhis King headsets seem a tad expensive.

I did a google search for integrated headsets, and saw only two in 1"--Cane Creek IS2 for about $35, and FSA Orbit for about $40-$45.
