ZS44 tapered bicycle headset – steering bearing for 1-1/8 inch fork

ZS44 tapered bicycle headset

A headset is an assembly of bearings placed in the frame's head tube that lets the fork (and with it the handlebars) rotate relative to the bike frame. This model, designated ZS44, is designed for low-profile, semi-integrated head tube setups used in mountain and road bikes.

Construction

The set is made of aluminum alloy, combining low weight with corrosion resistance and a long service life. The internal bearing has a plated and polished surface, and a sealing ring protects the mechanism from dust and water, extending the time between services.

Compatibility

The headset is designed for a 1-1/8 inch (28.6 mm) steerer tube and the ZS44 (44 mm) standard, used in many popular mountain and road bike frames. Before buying, verify the headset standard (SHIS) used in your own frame, as several similar-sized systems exist on the market.

Use

The product works as a replacement for worn or sandy headsets, improving the smoothness of handlebar turning and reducing excessive friction and play in the bike's steering system.
