Cane Creek Forty Series Headset Bottom Assembly
Cane Creek's workhorse headset! The Forty Series is a quality product at a mid-range price point.
All of the Headset cups are machined from 6061 T-6 Alloy and utilise black-oxide sealed bearings. The crown races are made from treated steel and feature a single, low friction sealing lip to keep debris out. All of the parts from the Forty series headsets are cross-compatible with Cane Creek's 10 and 110 series headsets.

Purchased top and bottom set. Fit's the frame. The most useful part was the explanation of the various different types of headsets. I was able to match the different top and bottom sets and get the right fit.

Replaced my 11/8 straight steerer shock with a 1 1/8 - 1.5 tapered steerer shock and so needed to swap out the bottom bearing with this external cup bearing , couldnt be happier with the result
Good value for money

Headset is a decent price and is easy to install. Not quite as long lasting as a chris king headset but a fraction of the price.
