FSA Orbit UF review

The FSA Orbit has a lower stack of roller bearings arranged in a taper to handle lateral and vertical loads, and an O-ring is highly effective in protecting the lower bearings from the effects of moisture.

Easy to fit and good valu, but the upper seal let water in under extreme conditions

The FSA Orbit has a lower stack of roller bearings arranged in a taper to handle lateral and vertical loads, and an O-ring is highly effective in protecting the lower bearings from the effects of moisture.

The upper stack of a headset experiences minimal load, so caged ball bearings are used here, though we advise care when cleaning this area because water from a hose got past the upper seal after a particularly muddy cyclo-cross ride. The total stack height is 32.5mm and they're available in both 1in and 1 1/8in diameters.
