Chris King Dropset 52mm compression ring

Restore the legendary precision and buttery-smooth steering of your headset with the genuine CHRIS KING DropSet 52mm Compression Ring. As a crucial component in the Spare Parts category for Headsets, this replacement compression ring is not just a spare part; it´s an investment in maintaining the impeccable performance and longevity that the Chris King brand is renowned for. Designed specifically for the DropSet family of headsets, this ring ensures a perfect fit, eliminating the frustrating creaks, clicks, and play that can develop over time from worn or inferior components.

The true benefit of this component lies in its role within Chris King´s patented GripLock™ bearing cap system. This innovative design, of which the compression ring is a key element, isolates the function of preloading the headset bearings from the clamping force of your stem. The result is a more secure, reliable, and easily adjustable preload that stays set, ride after ride, regardless of rough trails or demanding road conditions. This not only provides exceptionally smooth and responsive steering control but also critically protects your fork´s steerer tube (especially carbon models) from scoring and damage caused by excessive clamping force. By choosing a genuine Chris King compression ring, you are ensuring that this sophisticated system functions exactly as intended, delivering unparalleled durability and a silent, confident ride.
