Headset question...

[Jeff ES EF]

I NEED A GOOD LONG LASTING HEADSET. Any suggestions? I was thinking about a Chris King but maybe I'm overlooking something that's better for my money. Help a brotha ouuutt.

CHris King! It will last you forever!!!!!

[Jeff ES EF]

I was thinking about the Shimano HP-550 105 Threaded Headset which is also cartridge bearings and aluminum. also to mention 1/4 the price!! $34 dollas mannng! I dunno!

[ihurduliekme]

im in need of a headset, probably bb, crankset/chain ring, and maybe a seat post
wanna sell me your old stock parts for hellaaa cheap
aha

[Jeff ES EF]

Truvativ 165mm Cranks, bb, and a 48t black rocket ring

...all in one great package deal of $70! Yeah? I'll drop if you need to. You're such a dear friend!

cost matters most in the long run... you can either buy something cheap up front then have to replace
it later over time/mileage/use/abuse, or buy some quality $$$ stuff, install it once, then it will last you forever

[Jeff ES EF]

Damn, now I have to take that advice from an elder. Chris King it issss..

[benitosan]

i saw 2/people selling ChrisKing HS at the SF/DP swap on Saturday for $65, they normally popup on CL for like $80, get one, install it, then forget about it.  i think they retail for $120, just hunt around and get one.

[Jeff ES EF]

" get one, install it, then forget about it."

Sounds like a cheap business advertisement's catch-phrase.

But yes, I am convinced that I need a Chris King headset....Nowww, 2nut or GripNut? Hmmmm. I also need a 1" Chris King. I also want it in Black or chrome. Hmmmm.

I was over at bicycle express the other day getting a headset installed. We talked about the CK headset and how it retails for about $120. The guy made it sound like they can get it, or should I say sell it for much cheaper than that. might be worth checking out.

[quynh]

there's a Chris King threaded HS on SFfixed foo.
cop that shit. it's gold too.
bling bling.

jeff did you ever get your new crankset in, and headset?
wanna go a bit cheaper? haha, cause i can get pake crankset + 46t chainring new for 61, then + 25 for a new matching bb, only puts me 16 above yours....
maybe wanna sell me your stock headset and seatpost too? haha shit im so cheap.....

[Jeff ES EF]

Cranks, BB, headset, 48t black rocket ring,  maybe a seatpost if i can find one: $80

lolwut
its ok then nevermind haha

[climbarock]

I just got the Pake cranks for $50 from Universal, and I should've pay more attention to the pic. The rings are bolted on the inside. It's basically a double crankset, with the inner ring. Ugly as fvck. Why oh why did I want to save money on cranks?

[Citify]

Buy quality and buy once. Cranks IMO are one of the best investments for a bike.

[ihurduliekme]

mark recommend me something then!!
shit fine ill give in i guess some car parts can wait for my bike....

i need headset, crank + chain ring, bb, seatpost(but i guess im getting on for $5 from thyna)

[Jeff ES EF]

lol dude, I was joking with you. Pay me whatever. I don't really need this stuff hahaha

[ihurduliekme]

wutttt
how about i just borrow everything since its already used until i buy new parts just so i can get my bike running
but you can take it back whenever you want?
please?

[Jeff ES EF]
