Need help understanding replacement headset options for CAAD10
Quote | Reply
My 2014 Cannondale CAAD10 has the stock headset which needs replacing (I'm getting creaking, clunking, and I can start to feel a little bit of play). I've never done a headset and am a bit confused at my options.

Cannondaleexperts has this option: https://www.cannondaleexperts.com/...et--KP155_p_530.html

Cane Creek has this option as well as a couple others: http://www.canecreek.com/product/110/

Simply from appearance, the Cane Creek options look entirely different from the bearings on Cannondaleexperts. Can anyone explain the differences and help me understand which one I may want?

I suspect your best bet is to contact Cane Creek. My guess would be that if Cane Creek says it fits, it fits and that the difference is just OEM (the one from Cannondale Experts) vs premium.

The one from Cannodale Experts is the correct one, but you may only need the bearings, not the rest of the kit. The CAAD10 has drop in, integrated bearings, not external.

Here's a pretty good primer on different headsets from Park Tool.
