Title: thorn nomad headset
Post by: rogerrobot on March 06, 2011, 05:20:56 AM

Can anyone out there please tell me, what is the size and make of the standard supplied headset for the Nomad Mk 2? I can find nothing about it, in the otherwise excellent brochures. Is there an upgrade  offered, as there seems to be for almost evry other item?
Thanks.

It is not specified in the brochure, but the FSA Orbit XL 2  is what they fit as standard on most of their bikes.
It has replaceable cartridge bearings, is good quality and works well in my experience.

Thank you for that. Exactly the same as I have on my bike, and that has done a LOT of kms. without a problem.

Yes, that's what came in November on my Nomad Mk2.
