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.

Very Nice

Bought the zs56 in orange, really impressed by the quality, the bearing fits nice and snug and doesn't fall out and the seal slotted into the crown race is genius. Uses 40×52×7 45°×45°bearing which feels nice n smooth, a quality bit of kit. -
