Is a cartridge bearing the same as caged bearings? Or is that sealed bearing?
Cartridge bearings are usually sealed and the Pig DH has sealed cartridge bearings both top and bottom. "Caged" bearings are just loose balls in a retainer and are not the same as cartridge bearings and are not sealed. The regular Pig does have these so your friend wants the Pig DH. Also FSA Orbit X and Orbit XLII headsets have sealed cartridge bearings and are a bit lighter.
