shnoof Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 My friend has one on he's trials bike and its been fine but i would recommend getting a echo or something with sealed bearings as it is much stronger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dale-Hill Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 My FSA is the best headset i had on my bike so far. Good bearings, cheap and strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim-p Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 The only problem with FSA pig headsets is the bottom bearing are unsealed : /so when it comes to changing the headset to another frame they falll out if your not careful (easily replaced though)im saying this as it happens to me everytime i change my headset to a different frame (keep forgetting, lol)hope this helped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olly Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 I went from a FSA to a Hope. Doesn't feel much different but looks pretty damn pimp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 I wouldn't get a pig, mine was pretty rubbish, I had to rebuild it all the time and it weighed loads. Apparantly they're also slightly wider than most headsets so they flare the frame out slightly, so normal headsets won't fit after that.I'm running an FSA Orbit or Equipe, I've had both so I can't remember which I have on this bike, they're amazing, never need rebuilding and just keep running as smooth as when they were new.

trials biker Posted June 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 OK thanks for the help guys much appreciated and i think ill go with the ECHO sl unless any one advises me not to thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borat Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 OK thanks for the help guys much appreciated and i think ill go with the ECHO sl unless any one advises me not to thanks againHey, I would stick with the FSA PIG rather than the ECHO SL as (dont get me wrong) quite afew of the deng headsets are quite rubbish. A fellow rider used a ZOO! headset and i creaked and sounded really rough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't feel much different but looks pretty damn pimp.LOL it won't feel ANY different, its a headset not something that affects how your bike ride.I've always just used shitty crappy ones, for £10 a pop if it seizes or goes rough you can buy a new 1, not really a big issue.
