Cane Creek Hellbender Series 70 Slam:

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, seals 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 almost any fork and head tube configuration.

Cane Creek bearings:

Fitted 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.

ZS44/28.6 top thread diameter:

The ZS headset is pressed into the head tube at the top; the press-fit dimension in the frame is 44 mm at the top and the fork steerer tube diameter is 1 1/8 inch / 28.6 mm at the top.

ZS56/40 Bottom installation dimension:

The ZS headset is pressed into the head tube at the bottom; the press-fit dimension in the frame is 56 mm at the bottom and the fork steerer tube diameter is 1.5 inches at the bottom. The headset cone requires a 40 mm seat on the fork.

ZS/Zero Stack – semi-integrated headset:

Head sets designated ZS / Zero Stack are also referred to as semi-integrated head sets. They require a frame designed for this purpose with exactly the same mounting for the bearing cups. Zero Stack refers to the minimal protrusion of the bearing cups from the head tube, whilst, for example, ZS44 refers to the installation dimension, the outer diameter of the bearing cup and the inner diameter of the bearing cups in the frame. The headsets can usually be fitted without special tools; the frame simply needs to be cleanly pre-milled.
