Need New Headset
NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.
Looking for a new headset, as my current one is buggered (especially after 53km of mud at CP)
My current headset is a FSA 'The Pig' - does not have sealed bearings - lame!
I have a 1 1/8" headset
What do you recommend? i've been looking at 2 on eBay
Cane Creek S1

I'm open to suggestions. Only want to spend under $80

Go online and order a Chris King. It will be the best money you could ever spend. It will last longer than your bike/s for years to come.
Be careful - Chris King's aren't all they're cracked up to be for their price:

Be careful with the too-cheap-to-be-true cane creeks on ebay too - many have been found to be counterfeit
I recently bought Ritchey carbon headset from ebay and have been very happy with it.
Price was good, quick delivery, and once I worked out which way up it went installation was easy
