Wiener Bike Parts Steuersatzkonus headset taper Silver 27.0mm

The headset is the interface between the fork to the bike frame, holding it securely in place while allowing it to rotate to steer While the interface requires lateral stiffness to withstand riding loads, including cornering, braking and potholes, it also needs to be rotationally free for steering There are a few different types of headset available, but they all function in a similar way The two bearings at either end of the head tube are what make things work Traditionally, these have been held in pressed cups, but modern bikes also see bearings fitted directly into the frame
