Really lilke Epoch's Look very GT orientated though and a bit out of place on non GT bikes to me.

They were supplied on some GT completes but were a seperate manufacturer as far as I know , I thought the discussion ^^^ was what worked or did'nt ? ;D .

In my defence I never fitted my King Headset and in reality it was only built initially for a display item for the shop. However I did tighten it as much as I was happy to, rode it round the shop a few times and it was loose again.
They're normal headsets are fine but the 1" threaded aren't up to scratch as far as I'm concerned. I've raced my Robbo with a Tange 320 headset for the last 3 or 4 years and it's never come loose.

Bit confused now what to go for :-\
I wanted a "pretty" Gold Anno Headset for my O/S racer (or in my case O/S snail ;D)
I've got Chris King parts on my MTB and just assumed that all their gear would be good ???
I've thought about the Tange 125....but I think it may take a while for a gold Anno one to turn up plus I'd heard they work loose as well.
I agree about the "for that money it should work" comments....but I tend to put a dab of threadlock on most fixings on my bikes (BMX and MTB)
