It has been ridden to victory by World Champions and Grand Tour winners, and it continues to be a favorite among riders and framebuilders who value timeless performance and clean aesthetics. For this version, titanium gives this Chris King headset something unique. It is stronger (both harder and stiffer) and less chemically reactive than the other metals you find in bicycle components. Like all King's headsets, the titanium NoThreadSet features King's patented GripLock bearing cap that preloads the headset independently of clamping onto the steerer, so it retains preload far better than some other headset designs GripLock retention design takes the guesswork out of preloading a headset, because the bearing preload force is independent of the clamping force for dependable headset adjustment (US Patent 8662517) Every Chris King headset is built with its own legendary heat-treated bearings, and surgical-grade steel races machined simultaneously to ensure they are perfectly matched For straight, 1-1/8 , EC34 headtubes only Engineered, manufactured and assembled in Portland, Oregon King Lifetime Warranty Item Specifications Bearing Type Cartridge Color Titanium Crown Race 30.0 Defined Color Gray Lower Stack Height 13.7 Material Titanium S.H.I.S Lower EC34 S.H.I.S Upper EC34 S.H.I.S.
