Cane Creek 110 Headsets for Bottom

The Cane Creek 110 Series EC49/40 bottom headset assembly seamlessly blends form and function. With its smooth and reliable rotation, comparable to the stability of the ground we stand on (unless you reside near a fault line, in which case, it exceeds the reliability of the ground), and its aesthetics that are on point, this headset assembly is a standout choice, whether you opt for the classic glossy black or a color-matched componentry.

Crafted in North Carolina from US-made 7075 T-6 aluminum, the 110 Series features some of the highest-grade materials available, rivaling the quality and precision of the renowned Chris King headset. Like Chris King, the Cane Creek 110 Series is proudly made in the USA, but it differentiates itself by incorporating an alloy crown race and compression ring under the top bearing cover, providing extra security.

The compression ring facilitates easy assembly and eliminates the possibility of rocking or creaking, regardless of the small variations often encountered in steer tube diameters. For lightweight carbon fiber steer tubes, the extra surface area offered by this system helps ensure a damage-free compressive junction.

The external cup design of the 110-Series ZS56/40 bottom assembly allows you to mate a fork with a 1-1/8" - 1.5" tapered steer tube to a tapered head tube with a 49mm inner diameter on the bottom. This versatility enables you to mix and match the top assembly, ensuring you can find the perfect pairing for your bike based on its head tube's upper inner diameter.

Internally contoured and relieved to minimize weight and maximize strength, the 7075 T-6 aluminum construction of the 110 Series is a testament to its durability. The dual-seal crown race provides excellent sealing efficiency with low friction, while the premium, sealed stainless-steel bearings ensure buttery-smooth steering for years to come.

The low-friction upper bearing seal completely seals the cup from contaminants and is fully captured by the top cover, with no loose parts. Offered on the External Cup (EC) variant, the 12mm bottom adds to the stack height, allowing you to convert your head tube to meet your specific needs.

Backed by a 110-year no-questions-asked warranty, the Cane Creek 110 Series EC49/40 bottom headset assembly is a reliable and aesthetically pleasing choice for your cycling needs, with its quality and precision matching the best in the industry.
