help with headset

Hi guys,

I have a 2000 Giant Yukon SE with a 1 1/8" Tange TG stock headset. Is this what you call a traditional headset? What type of aftermarket headset (Cane Creek or FSA) I need to replace it with? I don't know which one to get.

Thanks.

Anything 1 1/8" threadless would work. You can spend $200 but anything $20-50 should last you a while and would fit the quality of the bike.

Anything sealed bearing will do fine. And all range in price (like stated)
A common recomendation is FSA orbit. I'm pretty sure it'll run you about 50bux
