Cane Creek makes great headsets
Pros
Cane Creek has done a great job of making a high quality headset. Beyond that, the ability to mix and match upper and lower cups to work with multiple crown races and different sized steerer tubes is great. This headset with an additional crown race for my Bluto fork made it a breeze to switch between the ridged fork for winter biking and my Bluto fork for summer biking. Great headset.
Cons
There was a little bit of confusion using Cane Creeks headset finder tool, but just going by what was recommended by Surly worked great.
As far as the headset goes, nothing bad so far, and I don't expect anything.
Great headset
Good Value
Pros
Solid headset with sealed angled cartridge bearings. Fit 55mm OD fit my Scott Voltage FR cleanly. Price is what it should be.
Cons
None yet
Other Thoughts
I wish the bike industry would put a little more effort into making sizing clear. They recently did an industry wide overhaul of uniform sizing labeling and yet it was still a little worrisome ordering. All fit fine however.
Cane Creek 40 Headset
Perfect integration for use of a tapered fork on a frame that was not made for one. The use of the internal cup on top mixed with an external cup on bottom is wonderful. This is also the first headset I have had with sealed bearings, what a difference! I would highly recommend this product to anyone.
Great headset.
Pros
A very good quality piece. It is well-made and bearings feel smooth and precise. I don't believe you could do better for the price.
Cons
There are no cons. The headset is replacing a cane creek headset that performed perfectly.
Other Thoughts
This headset is replacing a zero stack headset on a Surly Krampus.
Great smooth Headset!

Installed on my mtb. Smooth even after a year. Nice headset.
Great mid priced headset
Pros
I upgraded from caged bearings and immediately felt an improved steering response. Smooth,precise,quick and solid.
Have not owned long enough to determine durability or ease of maintenance but I am buying another set for my other bike.
Modern Bike had the best price too. I paid local bike shop to install.
Cons
None so far
Other Thoughts
Looks good,works well.
