Crown races should be installed using Cane Creek crown race installation tools.
We cannot guarantee compatibility with any of our crown races used with a different manufacturer’s headset.
Precision engineered by Cane Creek in Fletcher, NC.
| Compatibility | EC30 will take a 38mm bearing |
|---|
Yes. All of our crown races, unless noted otherwise, are for 36°x45° bearings.
The TH-848 is not a Cane Creek headset but was made under out license since we held the patent on the Threadless headset. It appears your Kula uses an EC34 headset which can only be used with straight 1-1/8" forks. The crown race used was a 41mm/30mm. Our part # is BAA0008S
Hi, I have an S-3 headset. It is 1 1/8″ straight. What crown race do I need?
Yes. The +3mm and +6mm crown race are for tapered 1-1/8"-1.5" forks and 52mm lower headset bearings. As long as your headset/fork match those specs you can use these taller stack crown races with 40 Series, Hellbender70, 110 series and even headsets from other manufacturers as long as the bearing dimensions are the same.
Follow up to this.
When you say it will fit other manufacturers headsets, will it fit Chris King?
I believe their bearings are quite different.
Most headsets use the same bearings, dimensionally, among the same size headset. The only differences are often in the construction (steel vs stainless steel), height (6.5mm vs 7mm) and contact angeles (36°x45° or 45°x45° which we offer both). A 52mm outside diameter bearing is 52mm whether its from Cane Creek, FSA, Crhis King, etc.
As long as the bearing you are using match the same dimensions as our bearings for:
outer diameter
inner diamater
height
contact angles
You can use our crown race with those bearings. I have used FSA and Chris King bearings with our crown races and vis versa but the dimensions need to be the same.
If the current headset on your bike is a straight ZS44 (top and bottom) you will need to remove the lower headset and install the EC44/40 headset. Part #BAA0085K and this comes with the correct crown race for your 1.5"" tapered fork.
If you already have a lower EC44 headset, you need the 52/40mm crown race. Part # BAA0010S
