Ritchey Road Comp Integrated Headset

This headset is designed for frames with a 42mm head tube inner diameter and a 1-1/8 inch steerer tube. Before purchasing, verify that your frame specifically requires an integrated headset with these dimensions, as it will not work with press-fit or external cup systems.

Yes, the kit is complete. It includes the bearings, crown race, top cap, and compression ring, so you have all the necessary components to get your steering system set up right out of the box.

The steel construction prioritizes durability and longevity over weight savings. It provides a robust, reliable feel that holds up well to daily riding and long-distance cycling without requiring frequent maintenance.

The stack height is 6.8 mm. This is a standard measurement for this type of integrated headset, but it is worth double-checking your current setup if you are trying to maintain a specific handlebar height.

While the headset itself is compatible with 1-1/8 inch steerer tubes, ensure you use a compatible compression plug designed for carbon steerers if your fork is carbon. The headset components themselves are safe to use, provided the steerer diameter matches.
