Plenty in stock



Shout about this product!

Description

Fit the Slackerizer to adjust the headtube angle of your frame by +2 or -2 degrees, choose from our range of fitments to customise your unique headset. By accurately 5-axis machining the cups to create an eccentric path for your steerer through your headtube, the Slackerizer can breathe new life into a frame by tuning the geometry to your needs. Fully sealed bearings and custom made NBR seals to keep out dirt and water, offering a long lifespan in the worst conditions. An innovative retained compression ring and split crown race makes assembly easy.

New range of high quality angle adjustment headsets manufactured in the UK by Superstar's in house manufacturing facility in Lincoln. Manufactured to the highest tolerances these headsets are a perfect fit and forget multi-sealed replacement for the cheap and nasty product normally fitted to complete bikes to keep manufacturing costs down.

Complete kits designed for the most popular frame fitment.

  • This headset will only work with 1 1/8" steerer tube forks (except taper specific models).
  • Check you have sufficient clearance inside of your headtube to allow fitment, some headtubes reduce in diameter internally and will not work.
  • We manufacture our headsets to the IS standard set out by Cane Creek. The tolerances are measured in microns, but if your headtube is oversized, ovalised or worn your headset may not function correctly or creak. This is not a fault with the product but a faulty frame.
  • We reccomend careful pressing with a quality headset press. Alignment lines are provided on the cups.
  • Fit with the model name and allignment line pointing forwards at the top and backwards in the bottom cup for slacker head angle assembly. For steeper angle install the other way round.

Spares available  - Topcap Kit, Bearings and Seals

HOW TO PICK THE CORRECT MODEL:

There are 2 parts to the headset the type and the length. T1-4 for example is Type1 (EC44/EC44) and length 4 (120-130mm)

1. Select the Type based on the internal diameter of your headtube and steerer type
2. Select the length of your headtube EXCLUDING ANY CUPS
3. Original cup type is not often possible, as usually ZS type change to EC type to give enough room to tilt the bearings.
4. Thats all!

Length 1 = 90-100mm
Length 2 = 100-110mm
Length 3 = 110-120mm
Length 4 = 120-130mm
Length 5 = 130-140mm

If your on the borderline between 2 sizes it doesnt matter which one you choose!

NOTE: It is not possible to make an angle headset for IS type headsets because the tolerance of a drop in bearing fit is far too slack to make a pressfit cup fit safely.

Tech Specs

  • Stack measurements include top cover or crown race.
  • Note that some manufacturers list cup only to make them appear shorter than they are.
  • Angle headsets are the mid stack height and will vary by a mm or so depending on angle.
  • Our headsets are highly sealed with custom moulded wiper seal, this adds approximately 2mm over unsealed headsets but we feel this is essential to long service life.

  • Slackerizer Angleset

    Posted on 17 February 2021 by H. Anzur

    5 stars
    Very happy with this angleset. I was a bit sceptical about it but the quality is top notch and you can really feel the difference. It went from 71° to 69° head angle on my old XC hardtail and stability at high speed is greatly improved and OTB feeling is greatly reduced. I can really recommend it to anyone who is looking to improve their bikes downhill ability without sacrefices going uphill and t
  • Great Upgrade

    Slackerizer is well made. I installed it without much hassle. Split crown race is a huge winner. Fitting needs to be done carefully. Notches help you gauge the center really well. 2° slack can really make a noticable difference, which I didn't expect. Bike feels a lot more stable on descends. Climbs are not noticably worse. This is pretty cheap upgrade, but it's an upgrade that'll make your bik

    Outstanding Over the moon its amazing what just 2 degrees does to the look of your bike only just finished fitting it so not sure how it feels yet but I'm pretty sure it will be excellent had a little bit of grief fitting the bearing Cup it was a little tight so I used a Dremel to take just a tiny bit off the inside of the head and put a bit of grease on and the cups went on sweet as a nut one th

    Costs a bit more than a standard quality headset, well sealed which I appreciate, looks a bit chunky, but that's the price of performance in this case, and while we're at it- I didn't believe it would make any real difference till I installed it... The handling feel change is huge! The bike rides much better at high speed (67 vs 65 degree ha) and in steep terrain, much harder to keep straight at v

    My bike had a 70 degree fork angle and with these dropped to 68. I was a little sceptical if it will fit my bike ,but everything went smoothly. Nice quality and looks good.
