Cane Creek's Hellbender 70 sits between the entry 40-Series and the flagship 110in Cane Creek's own range: the same sealed, stainless-steel Hellbender bearing and sealing as the 110, here in a zero-stack top / external-cup bottom assembly.

Highlights

  • Zero-stack (ZS) upper, external-cup (EC) lower, S.H.I.S. ZS44/28.6 | EC44/40
  • Tapered-steerer assembly, 1-1/8in to 1.5in
  • Sealed stainless-steel Hellbender bearings, top stack height 8mm
  • 6061-T6 aluminium cups, bright-dip anodised finish
  • Sealed crown race included
  • Six Chroma Studio anodised colours

What S.H.I.S. means

S.H.I.S. (Standardized Headset Identification System) is the industry code that states a headset's fit in one line: the letters give the cup type (ZS zero-stack, EC external cup, IS integrated), the first number is the head tube bore it presses into in mm, and the number after the slash is the steerer or crown race diameter the bearing takes. The /40 on this bottom cup means it takes the 1.5in tapered crown, not a straight steerer.

Compatibility & fit

Fits a 44mm head tube top with an external-cup bottom, tapered 1-1/8in to 1.5in steerer. If your frame's own S.H.I.S. code differs from this exact pairing it won't seat – check it before ordering, or ask Tune's workshop to measure the frame and press the headset as part of a fork or frame build.
