In fact, I had a highly regarded long low slack aluminum 29er HT based out of Utah on the short list but the company never replied. I know emails get lost and phone calls are missed for good reason, and it's not to bash anyone, merely pointing out Peter's quick customer service. Looking forward to having a backup bike and pseudo gravel/bad weather ride.

Oops. I went to post a reply in this thread quoting you, but accidentally edited your comment instead. Sorry about that. I think it's back to it's original wording.

I have a NECO on my bike and it's great.  I did some snooping around on Aliexpress, and BTX has the exact same headset with no branding for $9 instead of $15.  It's on my new build and working just fine.

BTX seems to have a few things out there that look interesting.  I've seen a set of aluminum wheels for around the $160 mark for a set.  This season, I'll probably order a set as an emergency backup in the event I bust up one of my carbon wheels.  It's a reasonable price to keep me pedaling while dealing with repairing my main wheels (like ordering a new hoop which will take at least a week to get here).

Their 29er hard tail frame looks interesting too.

I have had probably 6 or 7 NECO headsets over the years.  One time I developed some creaking and clicking, and when I pulled the fork, the lower bearing had come apart.  Come to find out the bearing only had about half the balls it was supposed to have.  But this was an isolated incident.  All the other neco headsets Ive had have been flawless.
