13 November 2010 | By billy1979Headsets are a surprisingly technical component. Bicycles owe their magical stability and their sensitive steering dynamics to their unique design.
The headset is the critical element to ensuring performance. No wonder serious builders and riders are unwilling to compromise this key component. Respecting this important priority and applying sound engineering, FSA has steadily amassed an unrivalled expertise with headsets. Today, FSA are the World's premier maker, offering over one hundred models to suit every specification.
