Chris King i2 Tapered 44/56mm headtube ( 1-1/8"/1.5" tapered fork)
This Chris King® threadless headset features a bearing cap design called GripLock™. GripLock™ is a multi-piece bearing cap that utilizes a split ring that improves steerer tube interface.
This Chris King® Inset™ headset is a low-stack threadless headset for newer model frames with oversized head tubes. Like other Chris King® headsets, it features user-serviceable stainless steel bearings. Chris King’s bearings are legendary because their design gives you years of trouble free performance with only routine maintenance.
This Inset™ headset fits bikes from a number of manufacturers. As long as your bike doesn’t require an integrated headset and matches precise specifications (see specification chart below) this Inset™ headset will perform beautifully on your bike.
It is absolutely essential that proper reaming and facing of your bike’s head tube be performed by a qualified mechanic during installation of this Inset™ headset. Also, please be aware that modifying a frame to make the Inset™ fit is not a proper method of installation. The proper installation of this headset is so important that you are encouraged to choose another headset if you are not able to have this Inset™ headset properly installed. We highly recommend that you carefully check your bike's specifications before ordering this headset and contact your bike manufacturer if necessary. Please note that we are unable to accept for return, exchange, or credit any headset that has been installed or has been attempted to be installed.
