I believe the currently available new A9 is not a roller bearing headset and all it has in common with the old A9 is the name. On 07/18/2018 11:18 AM, Reed Kennedy wrote: Wow, thanks Lum! I had no idea the A9 was still available new. I'd easily choose one of those over an IRD Roller Drive.

I don’t onow. I am guessing the needle bearing is needles mounted in a ring (cartridge?). PJWhite could answer that. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an

Wow, thanks Lum! I had no idea the A9 was still available new. I'd easily choose one of those over an IRD Roller Drive. As a matter of fact, I think I'll buy one just to have as a spare. Cheers, Reed On Wed, Jul 18, 2018 at 7:40 AM Lum Gim Fong wrote: > I love my IRD roller drive headset. >

I love my IRD roller drive headset. But I might get a Stronglight headset from Peter White Cycles next time so there will not be a plastic ring on the locknut to break on my next headset. I have a VO and 600 headsets with black plastic rings and both rings broke. IRD ok so far. But just for all

On line sources seem to focus on high volume items and often run out of things that then pop up again a while later. Perhaps roller bearing headsets are one of those "really cool but slow movers". Tange has made them as well as IRD & perhaps VO at some time. They seem to come'n'go. If your
