Why We Make This Contemporary bicycle frame designs are incorporating larger-diameter headtubes and tapered steerer forks to improve the bike’s front-end stiffness and, as a result, handling accuracy. This move has made particular sense for off-road bikes. We evolved the form and function of our legendary NoThreadSet to address the variety of tapered steerers and headtubes on the market today. Why You Want It Every Chris King headset is built with our heat-treated bearings and surgical-grade steel races machined simultaneously to ensure they are perfectly matched. As Chris King bearing tracks age and burnish, they actually get smoother, and all headsets are fully serviceable for years upon years of demanding riding. Our InSet™ 5 is built for riders using a 1.5” tapered fork that needs the legendary precision of a Chris King headset on their bike with a 49mm headtube. Our InSet™ 5 is equipped with our exclusive in-house built bearings and our patented GripLock® system to keep your steering precise and dependable.
