View Full Version : Any good Cane Creek IS-6 replacement? yuanja888 03-24-2008, 10:10 AM I am in the middle of swaping out my fork on my 05 Tuscany. It comes with the integrated cane creek is-6 headset. Does anyone know of a good replacement? Anything better fit? rmsmith 03-31-2008, 11:07 PM The IS-6 headset has a stainless bearing set. Installed properly it should work just fine. I use the IS-8 headset, and I think the only difference is some carbon spacers in the kit. The Real Design Signature carbon fork is a great fork too; why swap it? yuanja888 04-01-2008, 09:33 AM The IS-6 headset has a stainless bearing set. Installed properly it should work just fine.

My current fork is cut a little too low... kind of tough to commute on it right now. I got a ec90slx and just wanted to experiment with it and have a slightly higher handlebar. rmsmith 04-01-2008, 07:00 PM My current fork is cut a little too low... kind of tough to commute on it right now.

How about a stem that can be flipped upward? yuanja888 04-02-2008, 07:12 AM Be careful with too much extension above the headset bearings with those carbon steering tubes. How about a stem that can be flipped upward? I am only need to raise it around 20mm. I am pretty sure that's within the limits. Is there something else I should be aware of? Would it make the headset feel even more loose? rmsmith 04-02-2008, 06:30 PM I am only need to raise it around 20mm. I am pretty sure that's within the limits.

I have a feeling that you're not pre-loading the headset bearings properly before you tighten the stem. Do you have a mechanic that would be willing to show you how it's done? I'd look over the support documents at Cane Creek too: http://www.canecreek.com/integrated-system-is-headset-manuals.html diamonddickie 04-05-2008, 02:28 PM Did you ever find a good replacement? I want to swap and see if it fixed my speed wobble problems. Thanks. yuanja888 04-06-2008, 07:22 PM I have a some pulsating from the front rim. I have a set of pretty new rolf elan aeros. I think it should go away after some wear on the braking surface. I old set of ksyrium didn't have that problem. Are you getting vibration at high speed? |
