Are there other sealed cartridge threaded headsets besides king?
I'm having trouble finding a sealed cartridge bearing threaded headset that's a bit more affordable than a king. Any suggestions?
thanks.
thanks.

Most Shimanos were. Or are, if they still make a threaded headset. I haven't looked for a threaded headset in a long time.
EDIT - Yeah, I just found a 105 for like $38. I haven't ever heard of the site, but here's a link.

I just bought a Tange Tecnoglide headset with sealed bearings. Was sold by Kazane (Keirin Culture). I would not put too much emphasis on sealed bearings though. Loose ball or caged ball headsets work well and are just as well sealed from the outside world. Needle bearing headsets are nice too.
