Chris King is still a waste of money. And I have two of their headsets on two of my bikes that I purchased literally 10 years ago. I'm happy with mine. However, their competitors have caught up. 15 years ago, they were hands down the best. And they still have nice sealed cartridge bearings. But now, so does Cane Creek, FSA, and others. In fact, I like the Cane Creek's better.
