S.H.I.S. — what the code means

S.H.I.S. (Standard Headset Identification System) states the head tube and steerer diameters a headset needs, written as upper | lower. This headset is IS42/28.6 | IS52/40: Integrated top (42mm head tube, Italian standard, 28.6mm/1-1/8in steerer) and Integrated bottom (52mm head tube, 40mm/1.5in tapered steerer). IS42 is the Italian-threaded equivalent of the more common IS41 — the two aren't interchangeable. Matching the code exactly is what makes a headset fit.

Compatibility & fit

Fits an Italian-standard 42mm top head tube and a 52mm bottom head tube, tapered steerer. Confirm your frame's S.H.I.S. code against Cane Creek's fit guide before ordering, or bring the bike to the Tune workshop.

Cane Creek backs the 50-Series headset with a 1-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. For warranty support, return the product to Tune Cycles and we'll manage the claim with Cane Creek's Australian distributor. This is in addition to your rights under the Australian Consumer Law — keep your proof of purchase.
