Hi all, any one know what type if head set I need for a Giant Trance x5 - I have not changed since I bought I think it could do with a new one. Also any sensible ideas on which type around or sub £50?

    have a read of the headset standards on Parktools.

    and what year is it if you still cant work it out.

    Still not sure I am afraid - it is a 2009 Giant Trance x5.
    Someone told me at a bike show it should be semi intergrated (?) - any idea what decent headsets woudl fit?

    I replaced mine on my 2010 Trance X4 a few months ago and used this one from Superstar - the code is exactly as specified on the Cane Creek Headset finder (IIRC it's in the FAQ's) and it's been perfect:

    I didn't realize how cheap the OE fitted one was until I took it off, loose bearings that (after 9 months of riding in the Peak District) looked and felt like they were on their last legs. The SS one is very smooth, is a bargain and adds a bit of bling as well :D
