This may or may not be the time or place, but I have a few comments on the Velo Orange French threaded headset. What in the world is the intended use of that headset? At a stack height of 41 mm, it is incompatible as a replacement for almost all bike boom era French headsets. There are no new bikes being made with French threading, so there is no market for a new bike installation where the fork can be cut to fit. There may be a few bikes around that could get enough extra steerer by removing the centerpull cable hanger and either converting to sidepulls or rigging up another hanger solution. That only gains 2-3 mm which probably is not enough. My guess is that there a number of these headsets installed with just a thread or two of the locknut engaged. A new replacement headset installation should not send somebody to somebody with facing and reaming tools for 99% of the cases. It’s a stupid product, IMHO, and not of particularly good quality.
