Condition: Very good used condition. Cups are clean with no cracks, gouges, or deformation. Bearing races are smooth with no pitting or roughness. All seals and dust covers present. Grease it and install — ready to go.
Notes from MyBikeThing: The AheadSet is the original threadless headset — Cane Creek invented the standard that every threadless headset since has followed. This isn’t a generic; it’s the real thing, made to the spec that defined the category. Solid, rebuildable, and compatible with any 1-1/8″ threadless fork and standard EC head tube.
Workshop Wisdom: When installing, press cups squarely using a proper headset press or a bolt-through method. Never hammer cups in freehand — you’ll cock them and damage the races.
Guarantee: You put in the miles, we put in the work! 30 day Guarantee, rest assured of fit, function and condition 🙂
