XLC Comp A HS-A08 Ahead Serie sterzo Ø30mm 1 1/8" conica, nero

The headset is a pretty well-concealed component, but it is integral to the functioning of your bike and takes a lot of abuse when out riding.

If you ride the same bike for a long period of time through all seasons and conditions, the chances are you'll need to replace the headset at some point, and the XLC Comp A-Head Headset HS-A08 should get the job done.

This unit is designed to fit a steerer tube with a diameter of 1.1/8" (28.6 mm) – pretty standard – and its dimensions come to 27.2 mm in total – that's 15.4 mm for the top section and 11.8 mm for the bottom.

The headset cone is 30 mm and is compatible with a frame diameter of 34 mm. Manufactured from sturdy and hard-wearing aluminium, the XLC Comp A-Head Headset HS-A08 with cartridge bearings comes in black or silver so you can maintain colour consistency throughout your bike’s components.
