good thing for your response because I almost bought the wrong headset. The item description says:
40 SeriesBlack oxide, sealed cartridge bearings
Internally relieved AL-6061 T-6 cups and covers

and another website description says:
Cane Creek 40-Series EC(External Cups) assemblies feature press-in cups with bearings outside the frame.


Are these 2 the same headset? Because I can't find any Cane Creek 40 Series external cups except ebay.

Mumonkan, Dude I live on Staten Island too. What part are you in?
