Headsets

The Inset headset offers Chris King's trademark quality and durability in a low-stack configuration sized for contemporary headtube dimensions. King's legendary made-in-house bearings still form the centerpiece of the Inset headsets, with precisely machined aluminum cups and headset caps available in all ten classic Chris King colors. The Inset 3 is compatible with tapered 1-1/8 - 1-1/2-inch forks and frames using a 44/49mm headtube.

Chris King's Devolution headset solves a serious problem: How to match up your parts when parts standards keep multiplying? The Devolution lets you match frames and forks that would be otherwise incompatible. Got a 1-1/4-inch frame and a 1-1/8-inch fork? King has a headset that will make that combo work. How about an older 1-inch threadless fork and a shiny new 1-1/8-inch frame? That's a possibility, too. No shims, no special adapters, just the parts you need to make sure all your bike parts play nice.

Cane Creek's AngleSet transforms your ride. It enables an effective head-tube angle adjustment of up to +/- 1.5-degrees so you can fine-tune your mountain bike's front-end handling to best suit your riding style, local terrain and race course. Installation is straightforward because the AngleSet automatically adjust to fit different head tube lengths and angles. All AngleSet headsets have light, tough, and beautiful machined 7075 T6-aluminum cups with Cane Creek's corrosion-resistant black-oxide sealed bearings and quality seals throughout to keep the grease in and the dirt out.

Got a threaded steerer without spacers or brake hangers? Chris King's GripNut Headset is the choice for you. Ideal for heavy touring and riding over rough terrain, the GripNut features an extra threaded collet that locks the steerer in place, offering incredible holding power and adjustability. It’s also a welcome solution for forks with damaged or undersized threads. The additional collet makes it easy to install a fork that's had its steerer tube cut too short.

When Chris designed his first headset back in the mid 70's, his idea was simply to create a headset that would last more than a season or two. No one could have known that his efforts would revolutionize the bicycle industry the way they did. The Chris King headset has been considered a benchmark of quality for almost a quarter of a century. No other bicycle component can boast the longevity, performance and absolute reliability of the Chris King headset. Each Chris King headset is manufactured from materials and components hand picked and evaluated precisely for use in their headsets. Each headset was developed with every attention to detail and each part of every headset is made by King. They even go so far as to make our own sealed, cartridge style bearings - a practice unheard of in the bike industry. Their bearings are made from surgical grade stainless steel and are fully serviceable. The constant contact seals are easily removed to allow for user servicing, yet provide an impervious barrier to the worst grit and grime of riding. This headset has a stack height of 31.4mm and weighs 126grams. Shipping Weight: 1.00 pounds
