Cane Creek FORTY TOP Headsets

The Cane Creek 40 IS42/28.6 Top Assembly Headset is the perfect solution to replace your worn-out, tired headset or start a new road or mountain bike build the right way. This innovative upper headset features the Clip-Seal design, which shields the bearings from contamination while capturing the compression ring. It utilizes black oxide sealed bearings for long-lasting performance and is cross-compatible with both 40 and 110-series headset parts.

Available in a sleek black color, the Cane Creek 40 IS42 upper assembly is compatible with 28.6mm, or 1-1/8-inch, steerer tubes. You have the option to choose between a 15mm tall or a 9mm short stack height, depending on your frame's requirements. Please note that this is an upper assembly only, so you will need to purchase a compatible bottom assembly separately for your specific frame.

Crafted from durable 6061 T-6 aluminum, the headset has been internally relieved to reduce weight without sacrificing strength. The crown races are made of sturdy steel, ensuring long-lasting performance. The sealed bearings are coated with black oxide for enhanced corrosion resistance and smooth operation.

An Interlok spacer is included, allowing for easy adjustments and a secure fit. The Zero Stack (ZS) model also features high-quality, low-friction face seals on the crown races, providing additional protection against the elements.

Whether you're looking to upgrade your current bike or build a new one from the ground up, the Cane Creek 40 IS42/28.6 Top Assembly Headset is an excellent choice. Its innovative design, durable construction, and cross-compatibility make it a reliable and versatile option for cyclists of all levels. If your fork has a carbon steerer, be sure to use the compression plug that came with your fork or purchase one separately to ensure a proper and secure installation.
