Reliable, durable and built to be rebuilt. Hope's Traditional headset fits standard external-cup frames and 1 1/8 inch fork steerers, with custom stainless steel bearings that shrug off corrosion.

Highlights

  • Fits standard (external cup) 1 1/8" head tubes
  • Replaceable stainless steel bearings resist corrosion
  • Split crown race for easy fitting and removal
  • Head Doctor top cap included

Built to last

The cups, taper ring and crown race are all machined from 2014 T6 aluminium in Barnoldswick, UK. Sealing comes from an adjustable taper ring cover and integrated rubber seal, and the stainless bearings carry their own seals too. Every part is available as a spare, so the headset can be serviced rather than replaced.
