Is there a headset that won't break?"

Since 1976, CHRIS KING Precision Components has been a leading manufacturer of headsets and has been actively producing hubs, BBs, and other components to meet the various head standards of recent years, providing us with high-quality bicycle components. Precision Components" is the company that provides us with high quality bicycle components.

All CHRIS KING headsets feature heat-treated bearings and high-precision stainless steel races that are simultaneously machined to match perfectly. These bearing tracks become smoother with use and allow for years of full maintenance in the harshest riding environments. They feature proprietary, in-house manufactured bearings and the patented GripLock® system that provides precise fit and function.

Modern bicycle frame design has increased the diameter of the head tube and tapered column forks to increase rigidity around the front for more precise handling. This trend is particularly suited to off-road bikes, and has evolved from CHRIS KING's legendary NoThreadset™, combining Zero Stack (ZS) and External Cup (EC) to accommodate the wide variety of tapered columns and headtubes on the market today. The new InSet 2 is a new, improved version of the InSet 2.

CHRIS KING has decided to discontinue the star fangle nut in consideration of the popularity of carbon columns, the installation of carbon columns on forks made by other manufacturers, and environmental concerns. Some stock items are included, but future shipments will not include them as a general rule. Small parts (PHS458 ) are available, so if you need them, please purchase them separately.
