New Headset on the Market
November 9th, 2007 by ArleighBack at Interbike Cane Creek released a new headset, the 110.
Information pulled from Cane Creek’s website :
- Hard-Pack Alloy – The cups and spacers are machined from a custom drawn seamless tube of 7050 Plus Aluminum. This unique manufacturing process allows for an incredibly strong material without a weight penalty.
- Captured Compression Ring – Variations in steer tube diameters are common and sometime shims are needed to correct this. The “Captured†compression ring keeps these shims in place while maintaining the simplicity of the system.
- Split Lip Bearing – By incorporating a dual lip design the bearing gets twice the protection of standard headsets while decreasing friction.
- Low Weight – Without its spacers or preload assembly, the Cane Creek 110 is a remarkably light 97.5 grams. You won’t find a better performing, more durable headset. Finding a lighter one is just as unlikely.
I should have one of these in my hands with in a month as they won’t be in stock till then. I’ll have weight, better interior photos and all those details that I’m sure you want to know.
I’m glad to see that someone is finally stepping up to push the envelope in headsets. It was Cane Creek (Aheadset) that invented the threadless headset!
