Know before you buy
These specific bearings are designed for 1.5-inch headset standards. Please verify your current headset size and model specifications to ensure they match before purchasing.
Stainless steel provides superior resistance to rust and corrosion compared to standard steel bearings. This makes them an excellent choice for riders who frequently encounter wet, muddy, or humid conditions.
While these are drop-in cartridge bearings, you will need a headset press or appropriate bearing installation tools to seat them correctly without damaging the races. If you are uncomfortable with the process, a local bike shop can handle the installation quickly.
The 110 Series represents Cane Creek's premium tier, featuring higher-grade materials and tighter manufacturing tolerances. You can expect smoother steering performance and a significantly longer service life than entry-level or OEM-spec bearings.
These are sealed cartridge bearings, meaning they are largely maintenance-free. However, applying a light layer of waterproof grease to the bearing seats during installation can help prevent creaking and further protect against moisture ingress.
