I've been advised to get a new one, but as you say the newer models do have a split in them anyway. Hope sell their headsets 'pick and mix', so I wouldn't need to get a full new headset anyway. The bearings ont he bottom half of this one aren't great, which is another reason for replacing it.... I think I'll wait and see, I might just use it and keep an eye on it. Even if it failed completely I don't think it would be too catastrofic, even if it happened while riding (but please correct me if I'm wrong about that!)
thanks, Andy
