All bearings are basically the same, you pay for the top cap

9/10 headset bearings on the market are the exact same. It's the fucking top cap that's different. ^ you're a fucking dipshit leave this site.

Meh I never really gave about headset, I went to my LBS and he had an Animal one so I was like fine whatever and got it.
Not happy not disappointed, I just don't care about headsets, I'm just meh.

Ok guys... Listen in closely. EVERY SINGLE BEARING HEADSET/BOTTOM BRACKET/ HUB BEARINGS/ DETANGLER BEARINGS ARE THE SAME, BUTTTT!!!
With some really expensive components like stated above... A lot of companies do use higher grade material/bearings/races
So they all work and do the same thing, but some CAN have slight advantages, like lasting longer, that's about it....
When you buy a profile hub, the bearing inside is higher grade than a generic hub, same shit, 'longer' story, because the bearings are different types, not different sizes or anything... They all run the same, look the same.
Most of the time you're buying the brand name, for example, I got a Shadow Corvus HS for $29, $5 off and free shipping and was cheaper than everything else, the bearings are the same as my stock complete (my old bike) but the seals and shit are a bit higher quality, and stuff like profile and animal were in the $35 mark, which was annoying lol.
But to my conclusion, If you're somebody who doesn't give a fuck about style or looks, GET ANY HEADSET. If you're like me and want a bit of character and style and 'swag' to your steed, then get a decent looking one

You do know that hubs use different sized bearings yeah? Like the gsport are huge compared to say profile ones

Dude your parents are thoroughly disappointed in you. You are obviously a highschool dropout or paid a few bills for credit redemption. You didn't go to college. Why do t you go read a fucking book before you say another god damn word to anyone in this world because each and everytime you speak, I get dumber and a Malaysian slave worker child is punished with 53 lashes by whips.

y is the 25th letter of the alphabet, 2+5 = 7. 7 & 7 make a triangle if you flip the second 7, flip it right side up and you get a triangle.
ILLUMINATI.

Ten letters in illuminati. Ten has 3 letters, triangles have three points.

Yeah, every company doesnt buy from the same exact company. Some bearing companies im sure have a slight difference in the machining &bearing seals which could possibly mean some companies "generic bearings" last slightly longer. Just as well some "generic bearings" have defects & shit.
FYI what I just said was partly nonsense.

I feel the new user guide should mention that any new user is required to have 3-5 illuminati memes/jokes on reserve at all times for dealing with pleasedontrapemeagain.

Pretty much unless you buy ceramic stuff which is totally noticeable by the price. Some top races suck dick though and they won't sit flush. My friend had a Stolen Insider 2 headset on his 2012 Stolen Sinner XLT and the top race wedge was like shifting all over the place when we were installing it. We had to get a new wedge piece and headset from another headset..
