Chris King Alloy NoThreadset Ahead Griplock Headset

The NoThreadSet features aluminum cups, bearing cap, and stemcap built around our renowned stainless steel sealed bearings. Each NoThreadSet includes a stainless steel baseplate and our custom starnut with bolt. A conversion kit is available to convert any Chris King headset into a NoThreadSet.

Chris King designed the first sealed bearing headset in 1976. Thirty-two years later, the King headset remains a benchmark for quality. No other bicycle component can claim the precision, performance and absolute reliability of a Chris King headset.

At Chris King Precision Components, we manufacture each headset in our own facility to exacting standards, using quality-at-the-source methods to minimize waste. Even the sealed, cartridge style bearings are made in-house and are hand-checked. Post-anodization laser-etching ensures crisp detail and durability of external marks.

Occasionally, without notice, manufacturers change product design and/or specifications.
