Chris King NoThreadSet Headset

The Chris King NoThreadSet Tapered headset with EC34 top cup and EC44 bottom cup for frames with a 30 mm press-fit diameter of 34 mm at the top and 44 mm at the bottom of the head tube, and forks with a tapered steerer tube diameter of 1 1/8 inch / 28.6 mm at the top and 1 1/4 inch / 33 mm at the bottom.

The headset was developed for tough MTB use and also performs well on road bikes. The bearing cups and cap covers are made from aluminium and CNC-machined; the industrial bearings are multi-sealed and so well-made that Chris King offers a 10-year warranty on all headsets.

They have been produced by Chris King in Portland, Oregon, USA for 14 years, to a standard of quality that rightly earns them the label ‘indestructible’.
