Beartrap II all the way, good strong cups. The others have been known to break.  Steer clear of Beartrap IVs though, they're rubbish in comparison to the II of you're gonna be riding it hard.  :)

if your not the worlds most 'extreme' and you want a nice headset, get yourself a DB one from halfords for about £3

I think, think, that the cheapo headsets don't have cromoly cups, and the Beartrap II does....

Not 100% on that though so don't take it as gospel.  I do know I've never cracked a Tioga cup, if fact I still run them in my Condor today.

Can't say the same for t'other stuff however  ;)
