Chris King NoThreadSet Headset

The Chris King NoThreadSet is specifically designed for bicycles with a 1-1/8” straight steerer tube.

The patented GripLock system uses a split-ring design to isolate the steerer tube from the headset bearings, which prevents the headset from loosening over time and protects your steerer tube from damage.

These bearings are fully serviceable. You can clean, regrease, and maintain them yourself, which is why they are known for lasting significantly longer than standard sealed cartridge bearings.

Yes, Chris King uses surgical-grade steel races that are precision-matched to the bearings. As you ride, the surfaces wear into each other, creating a smoother, more refined feel over time.

No, this specific NoThreadSet model is built exclusively for 1-1/8” straight steerer tubes and will not fit tapered forks.

Chris King stands behind their manufacturing with a lifetime warranty, covering defects in materials and workmanship for the original owner.
