BUCKLOS 1-1/8 Bike Headset MTB Threadless 34 44 44-50.6 44-55 44-56 41.8-52mm, Straight Tapered Tube Mountain Bikes Road Bicycle Double Sealed Bearings Headsets, for Frame Fork Expander Plug Star Nut

Replaced the forks on my bike, went this bearing solution. Old forks did not have sealed bearings like this kit. Super simple installation, 15 minutes. Do yourself the favor when you order this. Also purchase the tool to sink the star nut. You will likely use the star nut not the compression fitting. Once installed and tightened zero play in the head. Easy assembly with my new forks and existing neck and bars. Inexpensive and quality solution. Looks great. Silky smooth bearing action.

Bucklos makes some pretty decent components and this headset is no exception. I installed it on a restomod Rockhopper without much fuss. The sealed cartridge bearings took all the slack out of my steering stem so I couldn't be happier. For the components you're getting, is of great value.

44-56 was perfect for my Polygon Xtrada 6. Bushings/Cups were machined well to accurate size so they fit perfectly on my bike and pressed right in with the Bucklos press+a small amount of marine grease. I'll see how they hold up, but guaranteed they'll be better than the unsealed ball bearing style bearings that were in there before.

This sealed bearing set is much better than the original one. It is very easy to install with the proper tools and also to adjust the end play. I always replace the origibal bearings with sealed ones to forget about maintenance.

The red headset is more of an orange color than it is red. Nice headset with quality fitment and smooth operation. The expander plug works great, just be aware that you may need an extra spacer to adjust neck height for proper cap clearance. While not a deal breaker for me, the color is something to be aware of if your looking for a perfect color scheme, great headset otherwise.

This is a great upgrade for your bike! Easy to install, cleaner, looks good and performs even better. I have currently put on about 500 miles since installation and the performance is awesome. Tight smooth steering. Highly recommend.

Far Better than the open exposed stock bearingsOn a gt avalanche. Highly recommended if you are upgrading the fork on a budget bike.Great fit, modern sealed bearing design, came with all adapters/rings / crown race Almost anything I might need for install

This was a great reasonably priced upgrade from those ball.Bearing headset bearings, tighter fit and tolerances ,smoother steering operation
