New range of high quality headsets in totally weird sizes!

ZS cups for standard tapered forks in 55, 62 and 66mm

ZS59 cup for standard tapered forks in 59mm for getting rid of the weird ball gimbals which break on some Marin Alpine trail XR and Whyte bikes

EC56/46 to turn your older frame into Supertaper 1.8" fork compatible by having an external bearing (reduce race to 40mm available)

EC56/40 to rake out your headangle by lifting the front of your bike 15mm. A nice alternative to angle or reach headsets. Make sure you have enough steerer length!

 

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.

Fully sealed cartridge bearings and custom made NBR wiper seals keep out the dirt and water, giving you a long lifespan in the worst conditions. An innovative retained compression ring and aluminium split crown race makes assembly easy.

Precision CNC machined from 6082 T6 heat treated aluminium. Pick and mix to suit your frame. 

  • Bottom Set -  include Bottom cup, sealed bearing and split crownrace

Spares available  - Topcap Kit, Bearings and Seals

    Overall rating: 4.8 / 5 from 4 reviews.

    Perfect well made product (XR fitment) I purchased this item on the chance it would fit a Marin alpine trail 1 2025 metallic brown and light blue due to a broken plastic adjustable cup. I need a replacement part fast as Marin was around two weeks wait, there is also very limited information about this special fitment online, this replaces the original adjustable lower cup for a 0° straight tube fitment using the original FSA top set, I fits perfectly matching Marin tolerances and was installed hassle free (you will need to remove the old crown race from the forks as new sealed type is supplied too). superstar also had this on my doormat within two days from placing a late afternoon order, credit to them, the bike now feels super solid and ready for shready. Thank you
