Cane Creek Hellbender 70 Slam Headset

The Cane Creek Hellbender 70 IS42 headset top tube for frames with a 42 mm threading diameter at the top of the head tube and forks with a 1 1/8 inch / 28.6 mm steerer tube diameter at the top.

The Series 70 allows the handlebars to be mounted really low = Slam, without compromising on perfect preload. With the Hellbender Series 70, Cane Creek has also closed the gap between the Series 40 and Series 110. The Hellbender features all the design characteristics, sealing elements and bearings found in the premium Series 110, at an unbeatable price. Available in a wide range of configurations, as upper and lower cups or as a complete headset for virtually any fork and head tube configuration.

Cane Creek bearings:

Equipped with high-quality stainless steel cartridge bearings, designed to protect all components from dirt and corrosion through multiple seals. This not only maximises service life but also minimises maintenance intervals. The prerequisites for a worry-free and unobtrusive headset.

IS42/28.6 top thread:

The IS headset is inserted into the top of the head tube; the installation dimension in the frame is 42 mm and the fork steerer tube diameter is 1 1/8 inch / 28.6 mm at the top.

IS/Integrated Standard – fully integrated headset:

Head sets designated IS / Integrated Standard are also referred to as fully integrated head sets. These head sets require a frame designed for this purpose with a raceway for the bearings. Integrated Standard refers to the fact that the bearings are inserted into the head tube without bearing cups, and IS44, for example, refers to the installation dimension, the outer diameter of the bearings and the inner diameter of the bearings in the frame. These headsets do not require any special tools; the frame is already prepared for them.
