One of the blessings of having a little bike company is the ability to address product categories that we feel have limited offerings. Being vintage bicycle buffs, we've been lamenting the lack of high end options for 1" threaded headsets that allow for cable hangers and a spacer stack. So we buddied up with Cane Creek to do something about it. The result is an exclusive version of their 110 headset in a 1" threaded configuration.
We feel that this is not only a heck of a headset, but an absolutely spectacular value as well. The highest quality cups paired with their venerable ZN40 bearings. It comes with one "keyed" 5mm spacer, and two matching non-keyed ones. Please note that the ZN40 bearings do require a bit of break in.
We're cleverly referring to it as the Wilde X Cane Creek 110ZN. The branding is very subtle as our logo isn't the point, having a headset that seamlessly blends into a classy build is. If you don't like the Wilde icon logo on the lower cup, simply rotate it toward the back and hide it under the down tube.
Service parts are available through Cane Creek.
