This immediate responsiveness inspires confidence, allowing you to carve through corners with precision and hold your line during high-speed descents. The integration of high-quality materials and advanced design results in a steering experience that feels fluid and controlled, minimizing friction and eliminating the frustrating play that can develop in lesser-quality headsets. The inclusion of a sleek Carbon Gap Cap not only shaves precious grams but also adds a touch of professional, premium aesthetic to your cockpit while helping to dampen road vibrations.At the heart of the Compass headset are the 45° stainless steel angular contact bearings (ACB). This feature is crucial for durability and performance. Unlike standard bearings, ACBs are designed to handle both radial and axial loads simultaneously, which is exactly the kind of force a headset endures while riding. The stainless steel construction ensures exceptional resistance to corrosion from moisture and sweat, guaranteeing a long-lasting, silky-smooth rotation season after season. The tapered 1-1/8 upper and 1-1/2 lower standard is the cornerstone of modern frame design, providing a massive increase in front-end stiffness and strength. This enhanced rigidity prevents front-end flex during hard braking or out-of-the-saddle sprinting, ensuring that all your power is directed toward forward motion.Columbus Compass 1-1/2´´ Carbon.This integrated headset is engineered for a seamless fit with frames featuring tapered head tubes, creating a clean, streamlined profile that is as aerodynamic as it is visually appealing. The very low stack height is a key feature for riders looking to achieve an aggressive, slammed position for optimal aerodynamics and power transfer. The Columbus Compass headset is more than just a spare part, it´s a performance-enhancing upgrade that forms the foundation of a reliable and high-performance steering system.Specifications:- Product Type: Integrated Headset- Finish: Carbon Gap Cap- Head Set Standard: IS42-28.6 / IS52-40- Upper Bearing Diameter: 1-1/8- Lower Bearing Diameter: 1-1/2- Bearings: 45° Stainless Steel Angular Contact Bearings (ACB)- Upper Stack Height: 16mm- Lower Stack Height: 0.8mm- Compatible Head Tube Outer Diameter (O.D.): Ø 46mm / 56mm- Compatible Head Tube Inner Diameter (I.D.): Ø 41.8mm / 52mm. tradeinn Bikeinn
