Headset Bearings



All Cane Creek headset bearings are durable, sealed cartridge bearings, and they’re interchangeable between headset series. Simply match the bearing size and drop in your new bearing. (See below for bearing compatibility).

We cannot guarantee compatibility with our bearings in a different manufacturer’s headset.

Precision engineered by Cane Creek in Fletcher, NC.

Notes

  • BAA2297 is a drop-in bearing upgrade kit for FSA IS42/IS52 headsets (commonly found on current Specialized mountain bikes). Designed to work with existing headset bearing cover and compression ring. Sealed crown race included.
  • BAA2191 –  49.5/40.5|52/40 – fits the 2024 Specialized World Cup and Stumpjumper 15.
  • .hd1325 – This product does not have a lifetime guarantee.

*Our ZN40 bearings (used in all 40 Series headsets) can feel rough in hand initially. This is a necessary side effect of the corrosion-resistant zinc coating used on the balls and races. This initial roughness wears in, becoming smoother with use, and extends the overall lifespan of the bearings.

Long body means effective contact with carbon steerer, which are prone to slipping.

Great replacement bearings. Perfect fit. These feel better than the factory originals. Sorry I can’t upload photos, I didn’t take any during installation.
