Anyone have experience with this headset? Im in the market for a new 1.5 reducer and thought this would be good on the new DHR and 8" fork. Question is are the bearings really small since there inside the headtube? Would this be suitable for FR/DH, or should I stick to the standard headset? I used the FSA orbit X last year with a 7" fork and it worked fine, but this year i plan an 8" fork on the DHR so my ride height up front will increase. Ive read on the forums thats not a good thing.... neaky:
Also does the Xc mean Cross country? or something else?
