needing a new headset for my bike - old tange crappy one has finally bit the dust.

Any opinions on this FSA one ? I've found it for around £25 online in the UK which works out around
40 dollars. Is this a good price?

Also my stem is an ART 88mm 22 degreee rise which is only 2 bolt so it creaks and also scores my
fork steerer so I'm thinking of getting a 4 bolt club roost Ibeam 105mm 10 degree rise for £14 ( 20
dollars ). Is this a good price, and will i find it too streched out compared to my old ART stem.

Thanks in advance guys

Best headset for the money, in my opinion. That seems a decent price too.

it's a very good headset. have done many thousands of miles with one, not a single problem. £25 is a
very good price.

Bog standard FSA Orbit served me well for 1500 or so miles, even when I managed to get water forced
into it and the grease got rusty (it was like that for about a month), just opened it, cleaned it,
re-greased and set it all back up, no worries.
