Cane Creek's 40 series headsets are widely used in OEM gravel and mountain bike builds and have been the most popular replacement options in many sizes. The company did the industry a favor by driving the S.H.I.S. headset standards that have made it much easier to compare brands and ensure you get the right size and type for your frameset.

This IS42/28.6 H9 IS52/40 features a 9mm Short Cover, sealed black-oxide bearings, cups that slide into the tapered frame without a press tool, a 36/45 degree steel crown and compression ring, and clean anodized black finish. The cover can be used with standard spacers or Cane Creek's Interlok versions. With an excellent seal system and minimal maintenance the Cane Creek 40 Headset will endure for years of adventurous riding.
