I got Cane Creek headsets on several of my bikes and for the money you cannot beat them. When I built my Wolverine last November I bought a used Chris King headset from my bike shop mechanic that was in like new condition for $50. I can tell absolutely no difference between my Cane Creek 40 headset or this Chris King which would have been three times the price when it was new. But here's something to consider. I guarantee you if my Chris King headset craps out on me, even though it's probably 10 years old and I bought it used, I can send it back to Chris King and they will fix it and warranty it and send it back to me. I know that because I've talked to other people that have bought used bikes off Craigslist that had Chris King headsets in them and Chris King gladly warrantied and repaired or replaced the worn headset even know the owners were not the original owners. Maybe Cane Creek would do the same thing I don't know. But it's pretty obvious to me that the folks at Chris King take so much pride in their stuff that they won't even question a defective part
