Durable enough for the job. Remember that crown race is bit of a misnomer in a cartridge bearing headset like these. The real crown race is part of the cartridge bearing, and this is just a centering cone, serving a similar purpose to the one at the top. You still buy headsets according to the fork and frame like you always did.
