    Folks
    I've got a Boardman 2010 team c and the headset has some play in it. So it's time to change it
    What I'm looking to find out if anyone can recommend a headset to replace the FSA Orbit as its given out after only 1200k
    Any suggestions would be welcome
    Thanx

    I have the same bike with at least 4000 Km and the headset is perfect. Are you sure its the bearings thats causing the problem. Have you tightened it up properly. Having said that I am 63kg in weight so not ever going to put too much stress on a headset. Crane Creak seem to be a good brand.
