Chris King Insert 8 External Semi-Integrated Headset ZS 44/28.6 - EC 44/30 Matt Black Chris King

Introducing the Chris King Insert 8 ZS 44/28.6 - EC 44/30 Matte Black External Semi-Integrated Headset.

Why we make it
Contemporary bike frames incorporate larger diameter headtubes and forks with tapered stems to improve the rigidity of the front end of the bike and, therefore, the precision of the ride. This evolution makes particular sense for off-road bikes. We've evolved the form and function of our legendary NoThreadset to accommodate the variety of tapered and headtubes on the market today.

Why you want it
Every Chris King headset is built with our heat-treated bearings and surgical-grade steel bushings machined simultaneously to ensure a perfect match. As Chris King bearing races age and wear, they become smoother, and all headsets are fully serviceable for years and years of demanding driving.

Built for the next generation of tapered road forks, the Chris King InSet™ 8 is designed to fit contemporary road and cross bikes that use 1-1/8" to 1-1/4" tapered headtubes and a 44mm headtube. Our InSet™ 8 combines our proprietary Chris King built bearings with our GripLock® retention system for unmatched ride quality.
