Most Ritchey headsets feature angular contact bearings to provide better support for maximum bearing life and smoothness - with none of the slop that plagues less sophisticated designs.
Ideal for bikes with conventional head tubes, the Ritchey Comp V2 Headset features a cartridge bearing, and a smaller upper bearing to save weight, while the lightweight, precision-machined aluminium cups are deep for solid insertion. Headsets don't always get the attention they deserve; beautiful handlebars and stems can be so distracting... But this component is the interface between frame, fork and stem, and the basis for precision steering. This is why the Ritchey Comp V2 Conventional model is built to take the abuse of bad roads and tough mountain bike (MTB) trails while delivering smooth, reliable performance over the long haul. Please Note: Not compatible with Ritchey WCS Carbon forks with integrated 45-degree crown race. Additional Features: Smaller semi-cartridge upper bearing to save weight Oversize semi-cartridge lower bearing to handle loads Manufacturer's Part Number: 33032617001
