Yup, that's why I've got CK headsets on all my bikes. :)

Only one set of CK hubbed wheels though. :(

Mine are still realitively young at 6 and 3yrs old, but haven't been touched. The newer one has been put in 3 frames. Lucky enough to own two sets of CK wheels, which only require a quick grease on the ring engagement once a year. Would like to get round to purchasing a headset for the C40, but the Campag Record is really more than it needs anyway

Go on then who's got the biggest CK collection?
my little dabble goes like this:
Ti Fat > Blue unetched 1"
IF deluxe > Black devolution 1 1/8"
Ti Merlin > Ti version with black top cap (also runs a disc front hub)
Dave Hinde > Black ahead 1 1/8"
New Yo purchase > guess what!!

king ti kages have nothing to do with chris king! king ti are made by gary helfrich & previously vaungh (sp) andrews, former fat chance racer.

king headsets last about 7-9yrs in wales before they need to be sent back to c.king :)
