Maelstrom, no disrespect intended, but the historical evidence suggests you should preface your responses with the disclaimer that "cheap" is at or near the top of your decision making criteria.

Regarding King headsets & hubs, I'd say that, in my experience, they are certainly high quality, reliable, easily serviceable components, and the factory support is second to none (Plus they offer cool colors!). When you factor in the company's environmental and socially responsible business practices, their products are a bargain and, to the extent possible, cyclists should support them. The highest praise might be that all the other manufacturers seem to be attempting to copy King's designs.

phantomcow2, go with the King headset!
