The Orbit-X? I think it's probably the best headset available in that particular price range and I can't see any reason I'd ever need anything "better" (ie: more expensive).

also, any experience with these rims from H+Son (tb14)? Seems like a lower profile version of something like the A23 but for some reason weigh more. Also I'm wondering if using a x25c wheel on it will neglect a lot of the advantages of going 23 with 23s
The TechnoGlide is just as good - I happen to like the looks of the Orbix-X a little better.

I honestly don't know why those TB-14s weigh as much as they do. I've got a 25c back tire on my Kagero and mounted on the A23, the damn thing looks HUGE. It's probably not as effective as a 23c on that particular rim but until it wears out, it's staying.
