Works Components 2.0 Degree headset

Works Components 2.0 Degree headset

UNLIKE CANE CREEK'S popular Angleset, Works Components' angled headset uses fixed-position cups (set at one, 1.5 or two degrees) rather than adjustable ones to alter your bike's head angle. This means it works out over 150$ cheaper but is just as effective at altering your head angle.

The simplicity of this system is the key to its success. While the Angleset is a high-quality headset, it needs to be fitted with painstaking perfection to avoid creaking. In contrast, the Works Components headsets are easy to get lined up straight with your head tube thanks to notches in the cups, and the split crown race helps to make for speedy installation.

The AC bearings are tough and are sealed adequately for UK conditions. General finish of the headset is good, if a little chunky. It's UK made and performs flawlessly, allowing you to fine tune the ride of your bike.

PRICE 115$
