I want to get a new headset for my giant rincon( im not sure what year 03 i think)
I'm not sure wether to get an intergrated one or not. but if i dont get one and the giant takes an intergrated headset will it matter.
To be sure how can i tell if the current headset is intergrated or not.
Thanks, any advice would be helpful

    you must get the same type of headset they are not interchangable. Have read of parktools they have all the info on all the headsets and then you can identify what headset your frame takes.
