I just wanted to circle back around and give some feedback on headsets for the P8. I ended up placing an order and buying the Cane Creek headset that was suggested by R_Pierce. As suspected it is a very nice piece.
Taking a step back, when I originally assembled my P8 I thought I was missing something when I assembled the headset. There was no lower dust cover or any type of seal to keep water and dirt out but being this was my first build I figured they were all like this.
Fast forward to installing the new Cane Creek headset, when I opened the box I was pleasantly surprised. I could tell right away why R_Pierce had mentioned he has had it for so long. The lower fork race has a built in seal that keeps dirt and water out. The top cap/cover also has built in O-rings that seal on the fork tube to keep water and dirt out.
All in all it is a very nice headset, and I highly recommend it. Went in smoothly with no issues.
