User serviceable and likely to outlast a few frames.
Chris King designed the first sealed bearing headset in 1976. Thirty-two
years later, the King headset
remains a benchmark for quality. No other bicycle component can claim the
precision, performance and absolute reliability of a Chris King headset.
At Chris King Precision Components, we manufacture each headset in our own
facility to exacting standards, using quality-at-the-source methods to
minimize waste. Even the sealed, cartridge style bearings are made in-house
and are hand-checked. Post-anodization laser-etching ensures crisp detail and
durability of external marks.
We believe this component so well represents us that we offer a 10-year
warranty on all models.
Our standard headsets are available in 4 different models, 4 sizes and 10
colors. We make a stainless steel headset
and 3 absolutely gorgeous titanium models. You’
find our headsets are ideal for every type of bicycle and all styles of
riding.
Integrated and Internal style headsets
Explained Here
We recognize the popularity of these systems and choose not to produce one of
our own. We presented an opinion on internal and integrated systems several
years ago and our belief remains the same today. We simply believe these
systems do not have the long-term durability and performance characteristics
to carry the King name.
