## Description

The 40-Series is the work-horse of Cane Creek's headset line-up. The series incorporates all the features necessary for a durable, light-weight, long-lasting headset and represents the perfect balance of performance, durability and value. Suitable for any type of bike including road, gravel MTB. The new ZN40 bearings are a zinc-coated, machined steel cartridge bearing with hardened steel balls. The new material is much more corrosion-resistant, which vastly increases the longevity of the 40 series headsets

Review: Top quality product. - Lots of seals to stop water getting in.
Review: Quality product - After much research on a new 1 1/8” Threadless headset I decided to purchase this Cane Creek Forty unit and am very impressed with the look, feel and quality. I would stress that the Cane Creek crown race, which is supplied with the headset, is a very tight fit and because Cane Creek opt for the attached blue rubbery dust shield you need to be super careful when installing, I would strongly encourage the use of their crown race installation adapter (HST004) to protect the dust shield during installation.
