Information
The IS42│IS52 headset is designed to fit frames with integrated 42mm/52mm head tubes and works with tapered and straight fork steerers. The “IS” stands for “Integrated” as the bearing sits directly inside the frame’s head tube without a cup. The “42/52” stands for the top/bottom inside diameter of the frame’s head tube.
