The Standard
I saw a CC Forty a few years ago when i was building a DJ and grabbed one. Since then, I have replaced the stock headsets on my other bikes with these.
No nonsense, noise free and you're able to service them over time. I expect they will be installed on the next frames and have many years of use.
Exactly what a headset should be.

Good upgrade over the stock Giant one that blew up.
