1in threaded headset. Not King. Open to ideas.

King is too obvious and too rich for this build. I am shooting for a shimano 600... but i find them boring. Tange ... boring. Suntour xc pro.. maybe. Mavic... price is no go. FSA... poor imitation. Cane creek.. they are all ugly.

Probably end w/ a shimano 600 but i feel like i could do better.

Right now I have the tange levin on top, the one that mimics a campagnolo record... and a cane creek S2 at the bottom. Other than creaking all the time everything is fine. I can´t find what is creaking but i suspect maybe is the crown race not sitting perfectly against the cane creek sealed bearing. Maybe the crown race is upside down....

BTW: a tange levin is very similar to a shimano headset. It´s obviously heavier... but bearings are bigger and races are steel. It´s 60 grams of extra toughnness.
