Paging næstep! (regarding 2002 NRS headset again)A.

I've decided to order the FSA headset from BeyondBikes, but I need to be absolutely sure of which model I need.

In your reply in my previous post, you said it was the "Orbit ZS." I've done searches within MTBR and found that you somtimes referred to the headset as "Orbit Z." I went to FSA's website and they actually list three different internal headsets, the Orbit Z, Orbit ZS, and the Orbit ZR. Which is the correct one?

If it's a 2002, you want the Oribt Z...næstep

The ZS has the shallower cups used on the '01 bikes, but Giant reamed their head tubes deeper in '02 and the Orbit Z matches with a deeper cup. I'm not sure what the Orbit ZR is, but it sure look mean (and deeper yet!).

Okay, thanks...A.

Glad this is clarified. Putting in the order soon!

Thanks again,
A.
