Cane Creek FORTY TOP Headsets

The 40 IS42/28.6 Top Assembly Headset from Cane Creek offers an excellent replacement for your worn-out, tired headset or the starting point for a new road or mountain bike build. This upper headset features the innovative Clip-Seal, which shields the bearings from contamination while capturing the compression ring, ensuring long-lasting performance.

Constructed with black oxide sealed bearings, the 40 IS42 upper assembly is designed for durability and longevity. It is cross-compatible with both the 40 and 110-series headset parts, providing versatility and compatibility with a wide range of frame configurations.

Available in the color black, this headset is designed to fit 28.6mm, or 1-1/8-inch, steerer tubes. Customers have the option to choose between a tall 15mm or a short 9mm stack height, allowing for customization to suit their specific frame and fork requirements.

It's important to note that this is an upper assembly only, and users will need to purchase a compatible bottom assembly for their frame. The headset also comes with a star fangled nut, which is suitable for use with steel or aluminum steerer tubes. However, for forks with carbon steerer tubes, users should use the compression plug that came with their fork or purchase one separately.

Crafted from 6061 T-6 Aluminum, the 40 IS42 upper assembly has been internally relieved to reduce weight without compromising its durability. The durable steel crown races and dependable black-oxide coated, sealed bearings ensure reliable performance and smooth steering.

Additionally, the headset is Interlock spacer compatible, allowing for easy installation and adjustment. The high-quality, low-friction face seals on the crown races, offered on the Zero Stack (ZS) model, provide an extra layer of protection against contamination, ensuring the longevity of the bearings.

Whether you're looking to upgrade your existing bike or start a new build, the Cane Creek 40 IS42/28.6 Top Assembly Headset is an excellent choice that combines innovation, durability, and versatility to elevate your riding experience.
