Anyhow, won't the cup *likely* need to be of the same make as the h/set to match/fit?

Yes and no. As long as the bearings and race match the cup they're in, it doesn't matter. My current
headset uses sealed needle bearings on the bottom, but a bog standard Tioga ball bearing upper unit.

However, IIRC, most standard bearing units use the same size cup on the bottom.

I'm just going to run 8sp stuff.

Aye - was thinking about that, and about any seal seatings involved (arf-arf!)...

Mine's needle lower ball and race upper - FSA Orbit jobby.

Should be fine - I've been using an old and worn 9 sp FSA PowerPro middle ring - ground the teeth
off the big ring as a bash guard. Works fine, and actually looks pretty-ish.

Shaun aRe - Our Mr. Chequer is looking into helping me resurrect the old Steelie (good luck to him
and bless his thoughtfulness!).
