Its what was standard on my '68 PX-10 and had a very good reputation. The headset was never quite as smooth as Campy's, but with four points of contact, it was solid and had a very good longevity. I couldn't get Campy headsets to last more than a year, but I never brinneled a V-4. Loose balls, I forget what size and the head tube had to be faced precisely, but I would love to get one myself in English thread. Anyone?

How good is the Stronglight Competition V-4 headset? I'm interested in using it on a "working" bike, so I'd be interested in reliability and longevity.

Thanks,
