  1. My Giant NRS has one of those moronic Cane Creek internal headsets that does
    not stay tight. Does anyone make an adapter to use a real headset in the
    head tube?

    If it's getting loose, you might have a frame/bearing/cup problem. Headsets
    should always stay tight. I've had 3 different Giant internal headset bikes
    and have never had a problem. One even had a missing bottom cup, ridden
    that way by the previous owner (!) and I put in a cup when I bought it and
    never had an alignment issue!
