Description Made from surgical grade stainless steel, user serviceable and likely to outlast a few frames, 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. King Components manufacture each headset in their own facility (here in Portland, OR) 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. Due to the constant contact, the seal is practically impervious to dirt and grime. Sotto Voce logo. Chris King offers a lifetime (10-year if purchased before January 1, 2019) warranty on all models. Replaceable Baseplates can be found here.

Chris King Quality
Chris King in my opinion and experience is synonymous with quality. It's nice to be able to not have to think about certain parts of your bike and focus on your ride.

The king of headsets
I mean really, how often do you turn your handlebars on your bike. If you are like me, often. Theres no straight path in life. King headsets arent just about cool colors, theyre about taking an essential component and making it bomb proof. Blindfolded, you can feel the difference between Chris King and much cheaper headsets.
