My LBS installed an IRD roller bearing headset on my Atlantis. The removal of the old one & installation of the IRD was routine. I watched & no unusual measures were needed. I adjusted it myself to get it "just right" & it's been trouble free & smooth since installation. Don't recall when it was but Rivendell had just started promoting them at the time.
