Sorry. I guess I should have made my point more clearly. I found that the original headsets on bikes that I bought new in the "on-topic" period, Campagnolo included, only lasted a few thousand miles. The King headset was the first one I owned that lasted longer than I owned the bikes, so I stuck with it. On fully-rigid mountain bikes, consistently ridden on rocky terrain the difference was even more marked.
