Chris King | Inset 5 Headset Silver

CHRIS KING INSET 5 HEADSETChris King designed the first sealed bearing headset in 1976. Thirty-four years later, the King headset remains a benchmark for quality. No other bicycle component can claim the precision, performance and absolute reliability of a Chris King headset. At Chris King Precision Components, they manufacture each headset in their own facility to exacting standards, using quality-at-the-source methods to minimize waste. Even the sealed, cartridge style bearings are made in-house and are hand-checked. In Set(TM) is the classic, unbeatable Chris King sealed bearing headset built into six configurations for contemporary bicycle headtube dimensions. As a mixed style headset, the top press-in cup and bearings are housed within the headtube allowing for overall lower ride height, while the lower bearing retains a traditional, external style. The In Set also features Chris King's Grip Lock(TM) bearing cap design that uses a multi-piece bearing cap and a split ring for improved steerer tube interface. Fits 1 1/8-1. 5 tapered steerer tubes Fits 49mm straight headtubes Top internal bearing and cup, bottom external bearing and cup Gold, Mango, Pewter, and Pink are special order colors and subject to Chris King's availability Includes aluminum cups, bearing cap, and stem cap Stainless steel sealed bearings Lifetime warranty Made in the USAFor help with installation and troubleshooting, Chris King has lots of info available here. | Chris King | Inset 5 Headset Silver
