What the crap!

Got my nice looking Cane Creek black S-2 headset. Definitely not 1", definitely printed 1 1/8 on the silver bearing cup thingy.

Beware!

I was misled by the seller and by the frickin website I checked beforehand as well!

Or is it just me?

Not just you. Everybody in America is having trouble getting what they ordered. Maybe we need to go loco. Oooops. I meant Local.

are you saying they don't make a 1" S2 headset, because they do. I have one.

Here's the Cane Creek S-2 headset with no bearings:

Here's where you can see 1 1/8" printed in the silver:

And here's me trying to stick it in my head tube. Doesn't fit.

Just call Cane Creek, they're actually a really great company to deal with on the phone or for warranty etc... I had a pair of crappy SCR-3 brakes, and lost the bolt/plate that holds the brake line down - called them and they sent a new one for free, I didn't even have to pay shipping.

While some of you may "LOL" and not think this is a big deal...
1) No, other brake bolts would not fit - I tried ones from my 105 and RSX brakes.
2) Finding a plain brake wire plate is not as easy as it sounds, even at a co-op, as most people don't have some simply laying around and in all instances I would have had to buy a brake caliper and simply use the plate
