My Titan Arrived from Canada this week. <snip> I installed a Nylfor nylon headset that came free of charge from John Barron (my favorite seller) anyone have any idea what bearings this one used - I want really light weight since the headset weighs in at 30 grams (did anyone ever make ceramic bearings) <snip>. +++++++++++==== The Nylfor that I installed on my wife's bike about 25 years ago came with nylon (?) balls, very much the same appearance as the head set races. I'm not sure if that's what you wanted to hear, and I'm not sure what the "right" grease would be, or where to get more balls. I am sure that we're not using it any more, but don't remember why.
