Just picked up one of the WolfTooth headsets for the Enduro. My word, it is so much nicer than the stock garbage. Fits way tigher over the bearing and actually has a seal along the fork steerer tube. No wonder the headset can have issues, carbon quality aside that FSA stock one is awful

First thing I do now with a new bike is remove the FSA stuff for something else. Main issue for me is the rust.
On my gen3 levo the fsa set rusted and fused to my headset cups within a few rides.
I've had the same FSA head set on my Stumpy Evo for three summers with no problems. It does require a lot of grease and cleaning and re-greasing twice a summer.
That's why I dared to install it on the Enduro as well.
I don’t think the oneup calculator accounts for the cable either. You lose some space because the cable has to go between the bottom of the post and the internal routing tube inside the frame without being kinked.
