I have had King, Campy, and Shimano headsets since the late 80s. Since I started using Threadless forks, Its been Chris King and had no problem with it since. I install all of them myself and are pretty intense about how they fit and finish. I don't anything about FSA. they were just putting them on mid range bikes back then when I first heard of them. They might be better now. I don't know. I always lean toward King or Campy if I can. I am not sure if I am getting a Ridley after all. No one seem to have it in my size. The supplier are all out and don't know when they will be getting them. Now I am thinking about a Cervelo. I am not sure about it, because everyone's got one riding up and down the street to Starbucks.
do not let them over tighten your threaded headset to the point that "it will never come loose". they have to be really careful to "NEVER" over stress the bearings. It will kill the race. Ask me how I know. the trick I have use over the years is to put a little teflon (the type plumbers use) tape on the thread to keep it from moving or comming loose. NOt thread lock, never. What kind of headset is it on the steel bike?
