Cane Creek S3 Headset Reviews
Description: (
from canecreek.com)
We knew it would take a great headset to beat the legendary value and quality of the Cane Creek S-2, but they've done it. The new S-3 reigns as the price / performance leader. It uses the same design as the (much more expensive) S-8, including an overhanging cup/cover which helps keep dirt and grit out of the bearings.

The S-3 is built to last, with 6061 aluminum cups, a steel crown race with integrated rubber seal, and replaceable sealed cartridge bearings.
• Material: 6061 AL cups
• Weight: 112 grams
• Stack Height: 27.4mm
• Bearings: Sealed cartridge type
Pros
Smooth, Sealed Bearings; easy to press/remove; solid feel.
Cons
Weight
Review
had absolutely no problems with this headset. Very smooth operation. I had some good diggers, and never had any problems. My new frame takes the Zero Stack design, otherwise I would've been more than happy to use this one.

Pros
Easy to work with and install. Smooth and I like having the sealed bearings
Cons
A little heavy and I wish they came in different colors.
Review
Good for someone who does not want to spend a whole lot of money but wants something that will last and not get packed full of dirt and debris.
