Bars Or Headset?!
Ok I have a major problem here. Im getting a new pair of cranks and either some bars or a headset.
I need new bars because they are pretty much totalled. My friends dad was being a dick and he didnt let me use a bar cutter or a hack saw so he welded my bars down!!! So now they are uneven and the ends are ridged and messed up. Lookin At T-1's or Edwin's. Any other suggestions?!?!
And I need a new headset. The reason is that My headset is never getting tight. When even Im riding my headset get loose, but is still ride-able. But I dont like the feeling of a loose headset. I dont know if its gettin ovalized or what. Im looking at the FSA Pig Unsealed or Aheadset SX-1. Please If any suggestions Answer soon, Im headin to FDR in Philly this weekend!!!!
So Im eventually getting both, but at the moment I need to pick one!! Any post will help if it has something to do with this.
Thankz

I agree, you bars might be a pain to ride with, but if your headset goes for too long, you could potentially damage the head tube of the frame and thus be forced to buy a new headset, bars, AND frame! Replace the headset first. Either of the ones you specified would work just fine, Im partial to the FSA though.
