M2Racer headset

Snagged one of these. They are basically ALL plastic, including the cups AND bottom/top races. The only metal is the needle bearings and very thin races for those bearings.....41grams no top cap

Almost all plastic ...Weren't you expecting more weight saving ?

Very reminiscent of the old Nylor headsets. I wonder how a plastic race holds up?

I was wondering the same thing. On such an important piece of the bike, is the weight savings really worth the risk? How does it hold up?

[mike]

have you had a chance to install the m2racer headset? how does it perform? very interested to know.

please advise.

thanks.

[big fellow]

have to agree with the others

considering the importance of this component, how will a pedominantly plastic part last?????????
