Tange headsets

[Tony R]

Hi all, Anyone know if they're any good. My LBS is trying to flog me one ("levin" model) for my all
year round commuter/tourer. The old XT one was great but apparently new shimano headsets have a
higher stack height than my 11 year old frame can cope with- what do I measure to check this by the
way? Thanks in advance, Tony R.

Well, i've had a campag copy by Tange in my all purpose bike for about fifteen years now, including
3 as a courier and daily use through all varieties weather available. Whilst I haven't completed
it's test yet I'd say that it's pretty good. The alloy one on the racing bike's done fairly well
too! Roger
