Dumbass,

A 'blocked race' happens when you overtighten your headset or
older-style bottom bracket and the bearing races no longer turn.

Something like that always happened to my Shimano headsets. Indexed
steering. I've had the same Campy headset for 10 years and it's still
running as smooth as the day I bought it.


Ever heard of a Chris King headset?


Is this a new company?

Better than S or C.


Cheapo 105 works just fine... for years and years.

King's are seemingly bomb-proof.


But the rest of my bike and my ass aren't.
