Which Threaded Cup and Cone Headsets are Good?
Okay cool! I don't really want to spend that kind of money on a headset anyway!!
So, if I went down the normal cup and cone headset route, what should I be looking for in a headset? Is there a solid choice for really good quality cup and cone headsets?
Also, if I am using a cup and cone headset, will I not run the risk of getting "brinelling" (like in photo) and then be a little stuck in the middle of Tajikistan or wherever?
Do I go cartridge/needle bearings - which are meant to be more hard wearing but are harder to replace, or standard ball bearings which may damage the actual cup and cone and thus needing a replacement headset?
