Chris King does integration work
For a long time, Chris King was vocal in his opposition to the new headset, in which the bearings are placed or pressed directly into the frame. With the new "Inset", however, Chris King is only at first glance being unfaithful to his principles. The new model is a so-called "press-fit" headset, in which classically constructed bearing shells are installed in an oversized head tube. Chris King has decided to offer the standard diameter of 44 millimeters for 1-1/8" head tubes. At the same time, there are two headset bearings for tapered 1-1/8" / 1.5" steerer tubes.
According to Chris King's announcement, the "Inset" will be available in all three versions and all King colors from next June.Note: This content has been automatically translated from German. Please report any incorrect translations.
