Chris King Headsets
I forgot I had one!
The best products are the ones that we forget we have. That bottom bracket that keeps on working or the bars that never break, they don’t get enough high fives (and high fives are free). And man oh man, do we see people’s headsets go south constantly.

The Chris King Headset is THE ULTIMATE HEADSET for people who ride. It doesn’t break. If it does (almost never because of normal use), they can repair it. You don’t need to replace a King headset.
The other nice thing is that King headsets are, in fact, super light. So, what else do you want? You want it to be less expensive? I know. It is much more expensive than others out there, but let’s look at how much you save if you had to replace it with a new one each 2 years (which isn’t all that far fetched).
King – $130 (give or take a few bucks)
Install – $35
Total for life – $175 (added in a tip for the mechanic!)
Cheepy Headset – $40
Install – $35
Total – $75
Two year total – $150
Four year total – $225
You get the point… sometimes you get what you pay for quickly and sometimes you have to enjoy how great a product is for years before it “pays for itself”.
