Description
Chris King headsets are built around serviceable, in-house bearings and the patented GripLock® retention system, designed to keep headset preload consistent while isolating bearing adjustment from steerer-tube clamping.
DropSet™ 5 uses the same IS42/IS52 bearing diameters as DropSet™ 2, but requires a deeper upper bearing seat. Please confirm the headtube specification before ordering.
