The S-3 The S-8 headset is an updated design of our S-6 headset, featuring replaceable bearings and a lighter, more compact profile. In addition to its sealed stainless steel cartridge bearings, the S-8's overhanging cup/cover design keeps contaminants from reaching the bearings. This overhanging "treacherous path" feature is repeated with the lower cup/crown race. All Cane Creek headsets, including the S-8, feature design details such as an undercut transition and stepped insertion for ease of assembly into frames; and are compatible with Cane Creek Interlok spacers. Classic: fits in a traditionally designed head tube and utilizes external bearing cups.

This is a very light, attractive, well-crafted headset - yes, I know all about Chris King, and have owned three. The S-8 presents a great value. It also includes a four-piece (20mm total) proprietary interlocking spacer stack, not noted in the description. The star nut assembly first rate, and includes a stainless steel bolt. The stainless bearing assembly top quality. I exchanged an FSA MX for the CC S-8, and I couldn't be happier. The S-8 won't break your budget, but will provide a very high-quality frame-to-fork connection. It is affordable sealed bearing at its best.
