Description
Chris King Precision Components was one of the first bicycle component manufacturers to offer a threadless headset. The modular design of the headset Chris developed in 1976 served as a platform for him to transform the concept of threadless into one of the most iconic pieces in the cycling universe. The Chris King NoThreadSet? is simple yet without limitation. It is equally appropriate on road or mountain bikes. It has been ridden to mountain bike world titles in both endurance and gravity disciplines and has crossed the finish line under yellow at the Tour de France.



The NoThreadSet? features aluminum cups, bearing cap, and stemcap built around our renowned stainless steel sealed bearings. Each NoThreadSet? includes a stainless steel baseplate and our custom starnut with bolt. Nine colors are available in all three standard sizes (1", 1-1/8" and 1-1/4"). A conversion kit is available to convert any Chris King headset into a NoThreadSet?.

Pros: It's a headset that you can literally drop into a bike and not think about (except occasionally when you think... WOW... the front of my bike really goes where I want it to). The bearings feel like nothing else on the market. No matter how much I've tried to neglect and abuse this headset... it's still goin' strong and feels like new.

Cons: They're kinda spendy for a headset... but if you buy one... you won't have to buy another (until you buy one for all of your bikes).

Recommendation: Wicked good.
