As a senior mountain biker I spend much of my time climbing at very low speeds which leads to the bike wandering constantly when riding technical single track. The viscoset dramatically calms down the steering and reduces the wandering. It also helps on downhills by smoothing out my steering inputs. I have it tuned for maximum damping and for my use case the benefits are huge and there are no downsides. Cane Creek's viscoset is an innovative and high quality product and it's a game-changer for me.

Hellbender works great!
These bearings are the best! Fairly easy to install and they totally stopped the death wobble in my Lectric XPeak bike!
