Chris King NoThreadSet Headset 1-1/8" - Black

Chris King NoThreadSet 1 1/8" is the classic external headset for frames with an EC34 head tube and a straight 1 1/8" fork. The standard is EC34/28.6 at the top and EC34/30 at the bottom, making it the right Chris King headset for many classic road, touring, MTB, and custom builds with the traditional 1 1/8" standard.

The NoThreadSet is one of the components that built Chris King's reputation. The bearings are manufactured by Chris King themselves in Portland and are fully serviceable, so they can be cleaned and lubricated instead of replacing the entire headset. The 1 1/8" version also uses the GripLock system to maintain the correct bearing preload even when the bike is put through its paces.

This version has black anodizing and Chris King's classic Bold graphics, where the KING logo is given slightly more prominence than on the Sotto Voce versions. An obvious choice if you're looking for a black Chris King headset in EC34 for a build where function, serviceability, and finish all matter.
