Chris King DropSet 2 42/52 Headset The DropSet 2 42/52 Headset might just be the ultimate integrated headset upgrade, with Chris King’s renowned precision-made bearings ensuring smooth running and a very long life. Integrated headsets can suffer from premature wear and creaking as the races aren’t held in cups. The GripLock® retention design separates the clamping force and the preload force, allowing the clamp to be torqued to an exact specification, which keeps the preload tension even under the kind of forces exacted by heavy braking or hard hits.

The simple answer is that many contemporary bicycle frame designs call for the headset bearings to ride inside the frame's headtube. After decades of making press-in bearing headsets, we needed to make headsets that worked in these newer frames.From 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.Enter, our patented GripLock™ bearing cap. The GripLock™ preloads the headset inde…

Chris King DropSet 3 Headset with Steel Bearings Chris King’s DropSet 3 Headset with Steel Bearings is an integrated headset option of the highest quality. The precision-made steel bearings and races have been designed to be more than a match for the extra demands placed upon them by their integrated position, as the lack of supporting cup means that it is easier for the bearings to shift and pre-load be lost, which in turn can lead to premature wear and creaking. The GripLock® retention system overcomes this, retaining preload even under heavy disc braking and big hits.
