Headset for Mono cog 29er??

Hi all, What size tubing does this have and what is a good headset to get or stay away from. Prefer not to spend a bunch.
Thanks, MikeB

If I'm not mistaken it's a 1 1/8" headset. I have the 26" Monocog and that's what it is.
As for the new headset, I would repost in the MTB forum as they should have more to add. This is more of a fixed road/track bike section.
Good Luck. Also, check bikeisland.com they have some good stuff and free shipping.
