After decades of making press-in bearing headsets, we needed to make headsets that worked in these newer frames.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the beginning, we understood that integrated headsets posed a unique challenge in that the bearings are not pressed into a cup and sit loosely in the frame. When bearings are not pressed securely into a cup, they shift and move, rapidly losing preload. As preload drops, the bearings are more susceptible to creaking, damage, and failure. That’s a problem we know how to solve.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy You Want It\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnter our patented GripLock™ bearing cap. The GripLock™ preloads the headset independently of clamping onto the steerer, so it retains preload far better than the competition and is impervious to the ill effects of load spikes from large hits and heavy braking. This means smoother steering, no more creaking, and a longer-lasting headset.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur GripLock™ design also takes the guesswork out of preloading a headset, because the bearing preload force is independent of the clamping force. Our headsets can be preloaded to a torque spec.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"tinymce-align-left\"\u003eCompatible with \u003cspan\u003eSanta Cruz, Yeti, Alchemy, \u003c\/span\u003eSanta Cruz Stigmata (without baseplate), Ibis Hakka MX, and more. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"tinymce-align-left\"\u003eBe sure to determine proper fitment to your frame before ordering.
