Chris King InSet 5 Headset InSet™ is the latest addition to the Chris King® NoThreadSet™ family. InSet™ is a low-stack threadless headset designed for use with contemporary frames featuring what would traditionally be called "oversized" headtubes.As times have changed, so have the specifications of many of the greatest bicycle designs. These new large headtubes allow frame manufacturer's greater surface area on which to attach top tubes and downtubes with the overall result being improved frame strength and rigidity. We pride ourselves on adapting Chris' forward-thinking original modular designs into ever-evolving configurations to meet most new bicycle designs. The Chris King® InSet™ now brings King's legendary bearing quality and time-tested durability to even more bicycle models. GripLock™ bearing cap Our InSet headsets feature an all-new bearing cap design. GripLock™ is a multi-piece bearing cap that utilizes a split ring that improves steerer tube interface. For tapered 1-1/8” to 1.5” steerer tubes but can be used with 1-1/8” steerer tubes by purchasing a Devolution 1.5 to 1-1/8” Baseplate/crown race.

Coming complete with a patented GripLock retention design, this model offers exclusively reliable headset adjustment.Features: Material: Aluminium, Stainless Steel Use: Road, MTB and Gravel Size: 1 1/8" Type: Integrated Upper and Lower Bearing: IS42/IS42 Baseplate Compatibility: Chris King baseplate and 45 degree integrated crown races 42mm 45x45 upper and lower bearing Patented GripLock retention design for exclusively reliable headset adjustment Legendary made-in-house bearings Engineered, manufactured and assembled in Portland, Oregon USATechnologies: GripLock: The most significant challenge to overcome is that integrated bearings are not pressed into a cup and sit loosely in the frame. When bearings are not pressed securely into a cup they shift and move, rapidly losing preload. As preload drops, the bearings are more susceptible to creaking, damage, and failure. Chris King's patented GripLock bearing cap is tried and tested and is a patented design that preloads the headset independently of clamping onto the steerer. The GripLock design ensures that the Chris King DropSet 4 retains preload far better than the competition and is impervious to the ill effects of load spikes from large hits and heavy braking. This means smoother steering, no more creaking, and a longer-lasting headset.Buy Chris King Components from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
Giro Synthe II Helmet (MIPS)The Giro Synthe II Helmet (MIPS) packs in the safety features to keep you safer on your ride. And it's comfortable and streamlined too, ensuring every time you hop on your bike, you'll barely notice it's there. Always a favourite with cyclists who demand both comfort and performance, the Synthe design gets some tweaks to make it better than ever. The Synthe II Helmet (MIPS), is equipped with the MIPS® (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) brain protection system. This works alongside the In-Mould polycarbonate shell and Thermoformed SL Roll Cage™ to deliver superb levels of impact absorption and head protection in the event of a crash. MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) The Mips system is designed to provide added safety for helmets in many accidents. For certain impacts, the Mips system can reduce harmful rotational motion that might otherwise be transferred to the user’s head.Rotational motion is a common cause of concussions in oblique hits to the head. In a crash, the Mips system is designed to move slightly inside the helmet to help redirect forces away from the head.Fast and CoolIt's not all about protection though. You'll also be pleased to find the Synthe II is fast and fresh. The compact design slips through the air with minimal drag, ensuring very little wasted watts as you pick up speed. And not just that, a total of 19 Wind Tunnel™ vents and carefully designed internal channels create a rush of air over the head, keeping you feeling great as you warm up. X-Static® anti-microbial padding is also there to keep you feeling comfortable. Quick to wick away sweat before discomfort sets in, it's also great at preventing bacterial build-up that can cause an itchy head. Cool, dry and fresh. Perfect. Roc Loc® 5 Air MIPSInside the Synthe II is the light and airy Roc-Loc® 5 Air fit system. This is the industry benchmark in comfort, stability, adjustability and weight savings. In addition to enhancing fit and comfort, Roc Loc® 5 allows you to easily custom tune the fit tension and the fore-aft tilt of the helmet in seconds using a single hand. And it’s lighter than comparable systems too, making it the ultimate in skull-hugging luxury.Features:Integrated MIPS® brain protection systemFeatherweight webbing with Slimline™ buckleX-Static® anti-microbial paddingIn-Mould polycarbonate shell with EPS linerThermoformed SL Roll Cage™ reinforcementRoc Loc® 5 Air MIPS19 Wind Tunnel™ vents with internal channellingCE EN1078Weight: 250g (size medium CE)Shop all MIPS helmets - Click hereBuy Giro Helmets from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.

No detail was missed out in the creation of the precisely engineered aerodynamic design of the Utopia Road Cycling Helmet (WG11). Using wind tunnel testing and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation, Kask have been able to develop a helmet with unrivalled aerodynamics while retaining incredible ventilation and safety. Compared to the competition the Utopia resulted in a saving of up to 6 watts when riding at 50kph. It may not sound significant but every little bit of saved energy is vital when going for the win. While aerodynamics were the primary concern, Kask didn't overlook ventilation. Using the data from their testing the design and engineering team have been able to optimise airflow so that you can use the Utopia all year round, even in warmer conditions. The design also means reduced draught noises as you ride. WG11 Safety Test The Utopia passes the stringent WG11 test. This focuses on protection from rotational impact forces, measuring rotational kinematics from both oblique and normal impacts. With this safety test passed, you can be sure the Utopia has you covered should you be unfortunate enough to fall from your bike. Kask Octo-Fit The Kask Octo-Fit offers both excellent security and a precise fit. A rubberised Micro Dial adjuster provides an improved finger grip for adjustment. Floating cradle contact and supports are designed to oscillate freely through 180° allowing a perfect fit on any shaped head. The Skeletal Brackets of the cradle have been designed and refined to provide the best fit and support whilst being as light as possible. Resistex® padding Fast-wicking and quick-drying Resistex® padding draws moisture away from your head to keep you drier as your more intense efforts create heat and sweat. This works with the engineered airflow to boost all-ride comfort and the pads are washable to ensure freshness.
