FAQ

What is the difference between the 41/52mm and 42/52mm bearing kits?

The upper bearing size is different. The 41mm upper fits certain integrated headset cup geometries, while the 42mm fits others. This is a real dimension difference, not a rounding variation. Measure your existing upper bearing before choosing between the two kits.

Does the 36x45 contact angle apply to both bearings in the kit?

Yes. Both the 41mm upper and 52mm lower bearings in this kit use the 36x45 contact angle, which is the correct specification for integrated headsets designed around this geometry.

Is it better to buy the kit or purchase bearings individually?

The kit is the better choice when both bearings are worn or have similar mileage. It ensures matched components, simplifies ordering, and typically offers better value than sourcing each bearing separately.
