Chris King  1.5 NoThreadSet™

Chris King’s design also allows you to service the bearing yourself using nothing more than a pen-knife and high-quality bearing grease. We machine the aluminum cups that house the bearings to within .0001" for a precise fit with your frame. In 2001, we were among the few companies to develop the onepointfive standard and we believe, now more than ever, in maintaining exacting standards across the industry.

An aluminum bearing cap and stem cap top off this new headset with the biggest stainless steel baseplate you’ll ever see holding it all up on your fork crown.

An important new feature of our 1.5 NoThreadSet is the PreLoader™, a system we developed in place of the more commonly-used star nut. While we believe the star nut is suitable for the applications of our other headsets, the 1.5 has greater demands than the star nut can effectively handle.

The PreLoader installs through the steerer tube of your fork and allows for the proper setting of bearing preload. The PreLoader is compatible with a wide range of bike sizes and fork crown types.
