Sup mate... To be honest there isnt much point in splashing out over 100 pounds for a front hub, its not that important...all you need it to do it spin and be strong...if you have the money to get a king front hub though, get one because it will last and last.you probably wont need to buy a front hub after it! However, if you were considering getting a rear chris king hub i'd say go ahead because the quality and warrenty is unrivilved. The deng front hubs seem to work pretty well, i am using one of the moment and it seems to be on par with my hope xc... But stear clear of the deng rear freehubs, they dont last and are a pain in the ass to take a apart and put backtogether...mine even came apart when it was in he dropouts. then it went to an early grave at 8 DAYS OLD!!! As for the headsets, you would be very much best off going for the chris king steel headset...I have had mine in 3 frames and each time ive bodged it out with a metal bar but its still fine.. i have had no problems what so ever with my king headset, they are really worth the money that you pay for them.. CK stuff is expensive for a reason mate... good luck Max...
