Jam2 headset upgrade

[thedrizzle]

I'm looking at replacing the headset in my 2021 jam2. It's pretty poor quality and needs constant maintenance to keep it quiet.

I'm having difficulties finding a suitable top assembly.

As far as I can tell this will fit but it seems to be discontinued.

I'd like a hope one but as far as I can tell they don't offer one to suit the bike.

Just wondering if anyone's upgraded the headset in their jam2's, if so what headset did you use and where from.

Cheers

I had a Jam2 2019 and renewed the headset after it failed with bearings from Trail Vision (UK company that will ship to other countries). Look out for their "Blue Seal" bearings that are packed with grease that has a high wash out resistance and have low friction close contact seals. Their website is focused around bikes and they have links that help you find the exact bearing you need, with alternatives.

I checked their prices and they were competitive. Delivery was fast too! But it was their helpful website that sold me, have a look around.
