Chris King NoThreadSet Headset
The Chris King NoThreadSet headset combines maximal durability, silky-smoothness and unrivalled longevity with a service life like no other. Handcrafted in the USA, this is the go-to headset for world-class athletes and discerning amateurs alike.
Grand Tour winners, world champions and record-breaking endurance athletes have all benefitted from NoThreadSets. Perfectly primed for peak performance whilst also sturdy enough to outlast the bike you fit it to, this is a truly remarkable feat of engineering, honed over several decades from humble beginnings.
The meticulous care and attention invested into the production of each and every NoThreadSet reflects Chris King’s lasting commitment to quality and environmentally conscious manufacturing. Bike disciplines, trends and fashions change but you’ll never go amiss with a NoThreadSet.
Every single NoThreadSet is engineered, manufactured and assembled in-house at Chris King’s HQ in Portland, Oregon. Fully serviceable and with a 10-year warranty, you can be confident that you’re investing in an elite performance product that has been built to last.
Chris King’s legendary steel bearings and heat-treated, surgical-grade steel races not only form a perfectly integrated system but actually become smoother as they burnish with use – wearing in, rather than wearing out. In contrast to many other manufacturers, Chris King has complete control over every aspect of production, meaning that they can make bearings in-house to a specification that simply wouldn’t be achieved otherwise.
An innovative GripLock retention system utilised in the NoThreadSet isolates forces normally exerted on your steerer tube, protecting it from fatigue and wear. If you want to care for your frame, particularly carbon and non-standard material constructions, the NoThreadSet is a solid choice. The GripLock system also reduces the chance of your headset coming out of adjustment, even after repeated high-impact riding.
The NoThreadSet is often emulated but never matched in durability, lasting quality and ultra-smooth functioning.
