# Chris King DropSet 3 Headset - 1-1/8 - 1.5" 41/52mm 36 Deg Black

The DropSet 3 Headset features the GripLock™ bearing cap that preloads the headset independently of clamping onto the steerer so it retains preload far better than other headset designs. The DropSet 3 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.-   GripLock™ design also takes the guesswork out of preloading a headset because the bearing preload force is independent of the clamping force
-   DropSet 3 headsets can be preloaded to a torque spec
-   41mm 45x45 upper bearing / 52mm 36x45 lower bearing
-   DropSet 3 headsets with their legendary made-in-house bearings are engineered manufactured and assembled in Portland Oregon USA
-   Includes baseplate and 36 degree integrated crown races
-   Features the King Lifetime Warranty
