Our 40-Series headset is the entry point for performance, quality, and value. Drawing from the premium 110-Series design, the 40-Series includes all the features necessary for a durable, lightweight, and easy to use headset.
Highlights:
We make headsets easier. Our headsets use interchangeable parts and over forty configurations to meet almost every size need. Sold in straight and tapered assemblies or tops & bottoms, tops are generally available in either short (9mm) or tall (15mm) bearing covers to further customize the look of your cockpit setup.
Looking to add some color? Check out the Hellbender 70 in Chroma Studio.
Featuring a full alloy construction – sealed cartridge bearings, 6000 series alloy cups and materials, and a sealed steel crown race, the Forty series headset sets the standard for all other headsets to be judged.
The ZN40 bearings are corrosion-resistant zinc-coated, machined steel cartridge bearings with hardened steel balls, which vastly increases the longevity of the 40 series headsets.
Our patented Interlok spacer design provides solid interface between the top cover and spacer stack, meaning they “nest” together and into the top of the bearing cover, which helps minimize shifting under load while riding; and shave 25% in weight off a standard alloy spacer stack. Spacers sold separately
In 1992, we brought the Aheadset®, the original threadless headset, to market – kicking off a major change in the way bicycle frames and forks would be developed going forward.
The original design of that revolutionary headset is still found in almost all bikes on the market today.
For this, I would recommend our stainless steel Hellbender bearings. They are truly incredible in terms of durability, and will be the last headset bearings you have to buy for a while! We sell these two particular bearings together in a kit, part no. BAA1178, available right here on the site! These will fit directly into what you have.
All you need to do is replace the crown race with either of the options you have listed. I would suggest the BAA0010S for the additional sealing benefit.
This lower headset assembly uses a 52mm Cane Creek bearing. We have 3 different bearings that fit this headset cup. A Zinc Coated Bearing (BAA1132), an Aluminum Cartridge Bearing (BAA2153A), and a stainless steel bearing (BAA1055). The key to making this headset tapered fork compatible is the crownrace. You will need a 52/40mm crownrace - Part number is (BAA0010S).
