I know hope headsets are the bees knees, but what is as/almost as good at a fraction of the cost?

    depends on the fitting and frame.

    Fitting and frame?
    All is standard. Or are you talking 'hidden set'?

    is it standard? zero stack? integrated? 1.5....... there are many more options in the MTB world than the road. :wink:

    but of cause THE headset for standard fitting is said to be the CK.

    Hehe, good shout. I'll not be able to afford a "service free" headset for a long time!
    What exactly does a service involve - replacing bearings and regreasing?
