What company makes the best integrated Headset?
and If so, what model? I have used IHS bikes before and they work fine. I don't understand the whole Chris King's "campaign to end this terrible engineering flaw" as they put it about IHS.
Alternatively, I know a wrench in my LBS who was able to install a Chris King Nothread HS into his IHS carbon fiber frame. He said that he had to make some adjustments to the headtube. I forgot to ask him the details. Anyone did this? How did it work out?
Let's hear some thoughts.

I have a Ritchey WCS Carbon integrated headset on my Ritchey Breakaway. It seems very nice and smooth. I have not put more than about 500 miles on it so far, but I have removed and reassembled the fork and headset numerous times as part of packing and unpacking the bike for traveling.

I don't know about integrated but Chris King makes the best non-integrated headsets IMO.
