Box Components Oversized Carbon Tapered Headset

There is more to Box carbon headsets than their striking good looks. From top to bottom, the Box One™ Carbon Tapered Headset was designed to perform.Each unit features a custom CNC-machined aluminium compression cap in the shape of the Box logo with cut-outs to reduce weight.At the centre of the top cap is an anodized aluminium bolt that threads into a gold anodized aluminium expander plug. This expander eliminates the need for a star nut and works with all 1-1/8-inch steerer tubes—even carbon fibre steerer tubes.The top bearing cover is crafted from carbon fibre, which adds style and shave weight.At the heart of the headset are two super-smooth, titanium-nitride coated, sealed, 45×45 bearings. The titanium coating results in a low friction coefficient, increased corrosion resistance, and smoother rolling bearings.A split crown race makes installation and removal from forks super easy. Box 1.5-inch headsets are intended for tapered frames and forks and include an adapter crown race that allows you to run a fork with a straight 1-1/8-inch steerer tube.
