Great valueA replacement headset (after a crash) lead me to the same brand. Going with the saying if its broken fix it... With the same product. Tried and tested and great value.

Beautifully smooth but a fraction tall for my forkThis headset was fitted onto the original threaded fork on my old 501 Raleigh. The bearings turn very smoothly but the headset is tall compared to the Miche one that I took off and the original before that. Consequently I had to leave the lock washer off to give me only 4 threads to fasten the lock nut onto (with thread lock)

Great headsetLovely classic looking headset. Great fit and easy installation. Thank you.

Ribble price makes this hard to beat for 1" + light + looksFor a retro build this is a fitting piece and you get modern sealed bearings so little impact from the elements.
Ribble's pic shows it as a brushed greyish appearance but in reality it is quite silver. Not polished, but very much matching most "milky" silver of a most quill stems.
one caveat, as another reviewer stated: this comes with a French lock ring which is bizarre. It's English standard threaded. The aluminum of the lock ring is so soft that it is literally a 2 min job to file the french style flat into and english style key.
But Ribble, what's up with that? -
Good HeadsetHistorically this was one of the better headsets of the '80s. It was known for its use of roller bearings rather than ball bearings and also for its lightness. My original one lasted the life of the bike untouched in all weather, race and training conditions. It has been updated with the use of cartridge. I have now purchased this for a retro restoration being period correct. The only downside is they come with a French lock washer and unusable on most steerer tubes. Alternative is to not use one (most do this) or source a keyed washer from an old headset.
