Chris King NoThreadSet Titanium Headset
The vast majority of bikes on the road (paved or otherwise) today have 1-1/8" head tubes. Since 1992, the NoThreadSet has been the gold standard for these bikes. 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 us 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. The GripLock® preloads the headset independently of clamping onto the steerer, so it retains preload far better than the competition and is impervious to the ill effects of load spikes from large hits and heavy braking. This means smoother steering, fewer adjustments, no creaking, and a longer lasting headset.
GripLock® also takes the guesswork out of preloading a headset, because the bearing preload force is independent of the clamping force. Every Chris King headset is built with its own heat-treated bearings, and surgical-grade steel races machined simultaneously to ensure they are perfectly matched.
- Engineered, manufactured and assembled in Portland, Oregon USA
- King Lifetime Warranty
- Legendary made-in-house bearings
- Patented GripLock® retention design for dependable headset adjustment (US Patent 8662517)
- For straight, 1-1/8", EC34 headtubes only.
