I could have sworn last week that QBP stopped listing Shimano headsets

Wow, somehow they got the message. I hope others follow suit in toning

Put in a Chris King 2-nut and you'll never need to buy another
headset.
Other than that, I'd probably go for one of the Tange headsets that VO

Unless you frequently carry a lot of weight or ride in a mountainous
area, a well considered 1x8*, is more than most riders ever need. You
get the added benefit of being able to afford a better crank and have
less wires and maintenance to worry about.

That's right, the QB is a ss, not necessarily a fixie -- I'd forgotten. But
your trail was *dirt*? Methinks a paved, level century on a fixed gear would
be easy by comparison.

Yeah, that's right, two and half times round trip. Thanks for the
clarification.
Man, a fixed century, to me, is truly a feat. I doubt I'll ever get to
that one.
Actually, I did notice on the long downhills that my body became more
fatigued on the longer downhill coasts. It's nice to give your k

I think you mean 2 1/2 times *round trip*, ie 40 miles X 2.5?

The bike will be used for shorter daily rides along with centuries and

maybe the longer hilly rides. I also

Campy Record headsets were notorious for pitting very easily. That and
the broken cranks and rear axles, and the poor stopping brakes and the
extra price and the silly mystique is why I quit riding Campy along
time ago. I am sure they have caught up to Japanese manufacturers in
many ways such as f
The Campy record threaded (Classic, silver, non garish, and yes campy-style
flavor) 1" headset shows at $59.99 at modernbike.com. That seems a reasonable
price. My Saluki has a Campy Chorus headset and it works fine.
