The Chris King DropSet 3 Headset features their GripLock™ bearing cap that preloads the headset independently of clamping onto the steerer so it retains preload far better than other headset designs. The DropSet 3 is impervious to the ill effects of load spikes from large hits and heavy braking. This means smoother steering no more creaking and a longer lasting headset. GripLock™ design also takes the guesswork out of preloading a headset because the bearing preload force is independent of the clamping forceDropSet 3 headsets can be preloaded to a torque spec41mm 45x45 upper bearing / 52mm 36x45 lower bearingDropSet 3 headsets with their legendary made-in-house bearings are engineered manufactured and assembled in Portland Oregon USAIncludes baseplate and 36 degree integrated crown racesFeatures the King Lifetime Warranty S.H.I.S Upper IS41 S.H.I.S.
