That's a hell of a price for an A9 headset! Usually I see them in the $25-$40 range.
Calm down. It's not an A9, it's an A9 ST and it has ball bearings. I used to get A9's from that site for $26. That's why most of my bikes have them. Stronglight stopped making them and they ran out soon afterward. I don't know anything about the A9ST, but it's a Stronglight, so how bad can it be? It's heavy, though.

I said I've seen a diagram. Do you doubt my word?
