The same team that brought you the Mallet & 5050 pedals have turned their attention to headsets. The Crank Brothers Sage C 1 1/8 Directset omits the standard headset cup & replaces it with flanges incorporated directly onto the bearing itself. This lowers the stack-hieght of the Sage C Directset to an industry best 21mm, an ideal match for todays long travel freeride bikes. The Sage C Directset's outer races are formed from bearing steel with a tough black finish. On the Sage range the bearing flanges are an extra long 15mm, allowing them to be inserted deep into the headtube to transmit loads over a greater area. Meanwhile the bearings themselves are custom made, 34 ball, full complement (max) bearings both top & bottom for maximum strength. Crank brothers are so confident in the strength of this design that they offer a full 5 year warranty on the bearings in all of their Directsets. weight
