Wolf Tooth GeoShift 2d EC44 - EC49 Short
Description
EC44/28.6 Upper, EC49/40 Lower 2 Degree Geoshift Short 90-114 mm Head Tube Length
Adjust the geometry of your bike by changing the head tube angle by 2º with the GeoShift 2º Performance Angle Headset. It allows you to change the head tube angle by -2º to make for a slacker geometry for added stability on fast descents, or by +2º by using the opposite orientation of the headset to make for a steeper geometry for quicker steering with maximum front wheel traction.
The GeoShift Performance Angle Headset features a design in which the bearings sit at an angle that aligns with the steerer tube. This compares to angle headsets that have bearings that sit flat, which adds unneeded friction and stress on the bearings. This design with angled bearings also prevents the creaking that is common with angle headsets that feature a spherical design.

EC headsets are for frames with external bearing cups, which places the bearing outside of the frame with these headsets.
Premium Headsets with Enduro stainless steel bearings have a lifetime warranty.
Wolf Tooth headsets are machined in the USA with aircraft-grade 6061 aluminum. Our headsets have three levels of superior custom sealing to protect bearings from the elements and prolong the life of the headset. They are designed to be lightweight, strong, and durable.

Integrated headsets pose a unique challenge in that the bearings are not pressed into a cup and sit loosely in the frame. When bearings are not pressed securely into a cup they shift and move, rapidly losing preload. As preload drops, the bearings are more susceptible to creaking, damage, and failure.
Enter the patented GripLock bearing cap. The GripLock preloads the headset independently of clamping onto the steerer, so it retains preload far better than the competition and is impervious to the ill effects of load spikes from large hits and heavy braking. This means smoother steering, no more creaking, and a longer lasting headset.
GripLock design also takes the guesswork out of preloading a headset, because the bearing preload force is independent of the clamping force. Chris King headsets can be preloaded to a torque spec.

Wolf Tooth headsets are machined here in our Minnesota shop with aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum. They are designed to be lightweight, strong, and durable. Our headsets have three levels of industry-leading custom sealing to protect bearings from the elements and prolong the life of the headset. This has a stack height of 3mm and is available in a variety of colors to match other Wolf Tooth anodized color options. These IS headsets are made exclusively for Specialized frames with molded-in internal bearing cups. Like all Wolf Tooth Premium Headsets with Enduro stainless steel bearings, the Premium IS Headset for Specialized has a lifetime warranty.
Compatibility
- Any Specialized bike that uses an IS (Integrated Standard) headset with 42mm upper bearing diameter.
- Uppers and lowers sold separately.
- Enduro stainless steel sealed bearings included on both the upper and lower.
- Upper headsets ship with a star nut which can only be used on forks with steel or aluminum steerer tubes. For forks with carbon steerer tubes you will need a compression plug (sold separately). (Never use a star nut on a carbon steerer tube).
- Some bikes, like the Stumpjumper EVO, have an adjustable headset that resembles a ZS headset where an upper cup is pressed into the frame. Our bearing will fit into that cup and our top cap will fit neatly on top.
