Ritchey WCS Drop In Headset

The fully integrated Ritchey WCS Integrated Standard headset top cup, IS42, for frames with a 42 mm bearing seat on the head tube and forks with a 1 1/8 inch / 28.6 mm steerer tube diameter at the top.

The WCS version of the Ritchey headset is fully equipped with high-quality industrial bearings. The well-sealed tapered precision bearing at the bottom and compact precision bearing at the top are very easy to adjust and run with almost no resistance. Unlike Zero Stack headsets, the Drop In models do not have additional bearing cups but are inserted directly into the frame.

Ritchey WCS headset bearings:

the full-contact bearings with titanium-coated raceways, combined with high-quality, exceptionally smooth balls and Ritchey’s water-repellent special grease, ensure highly durable bearings.

Fully integrated IS41 headset installation dimensions:

The IS headsets are inserted into the head tube and require no additional bearing cups. The frame/head tube must, of course, have the appropriate mount and bearing seat. The top dimension is 41 mm and the fork steerer mount is 28.6 mm, 1 1/8 inches.
