Introducing the
Chris King InSet 8 ZS 44/28.6 - EC 44/33 External Semi-Integrated Headset Black.
Why we make it
Contemporary bicycle frames incorporate larger-diameter headtubes and forks with tapered stems to improve front-end rigidity and, consequently, steering precision. This evolution is particularly logical 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 head sets are fully usable for years and years of demanding riding.
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 head tubes and a 44 mm head tube. Our
InSet™ 8 combines our exclusive Chris King-built bearings with our GripLock® retention system for unsurpassed ride quality.
