I've got this on a gravel bike and riding in very rough conditions with some high impact hits. The headset is quiet, durable, and looks good!

Just this: it would be great to have an expander for carbon fork with the headset.

The bearings work great and got rid of some creaking from old bearings. However the top cap and preload cap that is supposed to go on top of the bearing below the stem are both garbage. The top cap bound on itself and I had to drill it out as trying to get it out I stripped the top torques fitting and the compression cap simply does not fit and does not preload the bearing. So I used the bearings but had to keep using all the old parts as none of the new ones worked or broke.
