Chris King DropSet 5 Headset 1-1/8 42/52mm 45 Degree

Season:2021

Brand:Chris King

The DropSet 5 integrated headset features the patented GripLock bearing cap, which preloads the headset independently of clamping onto the steerer.

This design retains preload far better than the competition and is impervious to the ill effects of load spikes from large hits and heavy braking, resulting in smoother steering, no more creaking, and a longer lasting headset. The unit is engineered, manufactured, and assembled in Portland, Oregon, USA, and is backed by the Chris King lifetime warranty.

  • Legendary made-in-house bearings
  • GripLock retention design for dependable headset adjustment
  • Compatible with included baseplate and 45-degree integrated crown races
  • 42mm 45x45 upper bearing for 6.85-7.05mm bearing ream depth
  • 52mm 45x45 lower bearing
