The Chris King DropSet 3 Headset features their GripLock bearing cap that preloads the headset independently of clamping onto the steerer, so it retains preload far better than other headset designs. The DropSet 3 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.
- GripLock design also takes the guesswork out of preloading a headset, because the bearing preload force is independent of the clamping force
- DropSet 3 headsets can be preloaded to a torque spec
- 41mm 45x45 upper bearing / 52mm 36x45 lower bearing
- DropSet 3 headsets with their legendary made-in-house bearings are engineered, manufactured and assembled in Portland, Oregon USA
- Includes baseplate and 36 degree integrated crown races
