Does anyone know what type of headset I need for a 2010 Moots Psychlo X? I'm planning to install a Chris King but struggling to figure out which one.

Other question is around canti brakes. Trying to determine which (if any) canti brands produce or accept pads for carbon rims and/or funky wheelsets like my DT Swiss PR 1400 Dicut Oxic.

I appreciate everyone's knowledge - I've exhausted my googling ability and come up short.

For carbon, a quick search shows koolstop and trp both make a pad holder and carbon compatible insert for cantis. Looks like alloy is stock pad, then you'd have to buy the carbon pads.

Here's the 2010 Moots catalog

According to that, the Psychlo X uses a standard 1 1/8" threadless headset, which would be the Chris King Nothreadset.

Thank you - always humbled by the great membership at this forum. I posted this question less than an hour ago and two members have already taken the time to help me out. Just when I begin to doubt humanity, I'm reminded of its intrinsic goodness!

Check out my thread regarding canti post lengths. Went from TRP to Shorty Ultimates and dang near drove myself crazy. Moots has used two different lengths throughout the years. Wheels Mfg. sells both sizes if you run into this difficulty.

I'm using Paul cantis on my PX of similar era w/o adapters. Fork is Reynolds Ouzo. HS is CK nothreadset.
