Cup-and-cone bearings are user-serviceable, re-packable, and will outlast sealed cartridge designs when maintained. Complete with crown race and spacers, which is the right way to buy a headset.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Workshop Wisdom:<\/strong> Don&#8217;t hammer cups in \u2014 use a headset press or a DIY equivalent: long bolt, washers, and a socket sized to the cup OD. Uneven seating damages head tubes. Install the star nut before final cup pressing. Set it 12\u201315mm below the top of the steerer so the stem bolt engages it properly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Guarantee:<\/strong> <em>You put in the miles, we put in the work! 30-day Guarantee, rest assured of fit, function and condition.<\/em> \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<hr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\" \/>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Keywords:<\/strong> Cane Creek, Aheadset, threadless headset, 1-1\/8&#8243;, EC34, external cup, black headset, road headset, MTB headset, complete headset, cup and cone<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Will this work?
