So what don't you like about the headset? All it does is allow the steering to work!"Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

Think he may mean set up.
Shorter stem will be a bit less twitchy, but it will also shorten the cockpit, so depends on the sizing.I don't do smileys.

I would try a shorter stem, maybe 90mm, but don't know if you want really wide bars for xc.
Try a cheap one off Ebay. If you like it you can always sell it on and by a blingier one.I don't do smileys.
