The cups seem to be good quality and spin nicely on the cartridge bearings.
Recommend having a bike mechanic "chase and face" the head tube and fork crown to make sure the surfaces are flat and parallel before installation, and don't forget to use antiseize when installing the cups and crown race.

The cups seem to be good quality and spin nicely on the cartridge bearings.
Recommend having a bike mechanic "chase and face" the head tube and fork crown to make sure the surfaces are flat and parallel before installation, and don't forget to use antiseize when installing the cups and crown race.
Installing it was easy, using a home made headset press (threaded rod, an assortment of fender washers, and some nuts — look up DIY headset press and crown install tool on your favorite internet search engine), some wrenches, and grease (use it liberally at the headset/headtube interface). Adding the crown race to the fork was easy, using a section of PVC pipe long enough to extend from the fork crown to just beyond the fork steerer tube. You want the PVC to fit in the race as tightly as possible, so all the subsequent force is applied to the race, so take the race with you to your hardware store of choice. PVC is key, as you want something softer than the race. Place the crown race and gasket on the crown (more grease), PVC pipe on that, invert the whole assembly, and slam the PVC on a hard surface until it sets properly on the crown. Or you can pay your local bike mechanic for installation, but it really is easy to do without the pricey, dedicated tools from Park and other makers.
Installation of the bearings and dust covers are easy to follow from the included instruction sheet supplied by Cane Creek.
Definitely recommend Cane Creek, the 110 series (if you can afford it), and now the 40 series. I expect it to last for years, and Cane Creek sells replacement parts, so it is essentially a lifetime purchase.
I thought my tallbike's steerer was tweaked but it turned out my old headset was just clapped out.
Finally got rid of a hard-to-find rattle I suspected was from my old headset but not 100% sure given its tolerances were still fairly decent.
I gently tapped in the cups with a piece of wood after hitting them with some red loctite and the crown race with a square brass punch. My sleeved steerer has a 1 1/8” threaded sealing lock nut that sets the tension and a 1" steel quill with a 1 1/8” threadless head (home made) that accepts my 1 1/8” threadless Kore stem.
Perfection again at last!
Anyway, this is a nice, smooth, lightweight headset. I would say it's ALMOST as smooth as my Chris King that cost maybe 3 times as much. Honestly, I find headset smoothness only to matter when you're standing still and lift up the front end. Usually that "smoothness" is also inhibited by cable housing/routing friction. Headset smoothness is mostly imperceptible if your headset is in good working condition, well adjusted, and is of relatively good quality. This is a great headset for the money. In fact, I may never buy another brand headset unless I want a special color.
You could buy a fancier, possibly smoother headset for a lot more, but why would you do such a thing?

They dont turn smooth as my old ones and arent the same outside finish..
He may want the zero stack option for some models of bike or chariot though.
