PREMIUM IS HEADSET - IS42 FOR SPECIALIZED - INTEGRATED STANDARD - UPPER

Wolf Tooth headsets are machined here in our Minnesota shop with aircraft-grade 6061 aluminum. They are designed to be lightweight, strong, and durable. Premium Headsets with Enduro stainless steel bearings have a lifetime warranty.
Our headsets have three levels of industry-leading custom sealing to protect bearings from the elements and prolong the life of the headset. Available in a variety of colors. These IS headsets are for frames with molded-in internal bearing cups.
COMPATIBILITY

Any Specialized bike that uses an IS (Integrated Standard) headset with 42mm upper bearing diameter.
Uppers and lowers sold separately.
Enduro stainless steel sealed bearings included on both the upper and lower.
Upper headsets ship with a star nut which can only be used on forks with steel or aluminum steerer tubes. For forks with carbon steerer tubes you will need a compression plug (sold separately). (Never use a star nut on a carbon steerer tube).
Some bikes, like the Stumpjumper EVO, have an adjustable headset that resembles a ZS headset where an upper cup is pressed into the frame. Our bearing will fit into that cup and our top cap will fit neatly on top.
