Title: Hope Headsets
Post by: Zippy on July 26, 2005, 11:36 PM

I've just bought a new school race frame and wanted a Chris King headset. However having realised that even getting one cheap would be expensive, I've opted for a Hope headset instead. Has anybody used one of these before.
I know in MTB circles they're getting as good reviews as the Chris King. Just wondered if anybody had any BMX experience with them.

I've got Silver for sale , used for about 4-6 hours.    30 + post (was 60)

i was tempted to purchase a hope one, but changed mind. you cant beat a chris king headset for looks or function.  there is a site on ebay selling chris kings, free shipping to the uk. work out a little bit more than hope. think the seller is aspirevelotech

Mates of mine use Hope religiously and say they are easily as good as King but theres no bling factor and after all arent we all show-offs?

It should arrive in about a weeks time, this one is a bit special though as it's two tone.
