Headset

WEAPON bicycle headset is a crucial component that connects the front fork to the fIxie frame / road bike frame, enabling the rider to steer the bike smoothly and maintain control. It consists of bearings housed within the head tube of the bike frame, allowing the fork steerer to rotate freely. There are various types of headsets, including threaded and threadless, with the latter being the most common on modern bikes.

Key Features:

• Smooth Steering: Quality headsets ensure smooth and responsive handling, essential for safe riding and effective control.
• Durability: Headsets are built to withstand repeated stress, ensuring long-lasting performance even in demanding conditions.
• Types: Threadless headsets are now the standard, known for ease of adjustment and maintenance, while older, threaded headsets are more common in vintage bikes.
• Bearings: The bearings, either sealed or loose, play a key role in maintaining smooth movement and reducing friction between the frame and fork.
