Currently have this on there, TH No.11N A-Headset. Serviced the fork yesterday and it's all rusty and shitted up. Sprayed it with isopropyl and have greased it up but want to get another. Cheap enough but does a good job.

Cheers

    Have you looked in the FAQs or on the Cane Creek website to ID what you have?

    Personally if it runs smooth enough, I'd stick with what you've got.

    Nothing in the FAQs what I can see. Why the cane creek website? Didn't know it was a canecreek headset?!

    It feels smooth enough when all assembled but it was not smooth when I took it off yesterday. Just don't want it failing when I'm out somewhere?

    so what standard is it then? find out and buy one that is the same standard.

    This has a very very low probability of happening, so you can't get home. Almost zero.

    Ok, that'll do me then. It's pretty wrecked mind so would still like to replace it with a sealed bearing headset if poss.

    as you seem to be lost you can use any internal/Zero stack/Semi Integrated (ZS standard) headset.
