Cane Creek 50 Tapered Headset - ZS44/28.6 | ZS56/40 - black

The FIFTY sits squarely between the Forty and Hellbender 70 headsets, offering a new, modern aesthetic at a relatively affordable price. Additional machining on the top cover and shells as well as sophisticated laser engraved graphics give the headset a sharper, edgier look that better suits today's bikes.

The FIFTY is a fantastic upgrade over most stock headsets and one of the first areas riders should look at to increase the security of a quiet, tight and smooth riding bike. Precision manufactured by Cane Creek in Fletcher, North Carolina:
