FAQ

What does ACB mean on a headset bearing?

ACB stands for Angular Contact Bearing. Unlike standard radial bearings, ACB bearings are designed to handle both radial and axial loads, making them the correct design for headset applications where steering and braking forces push in multiple directions.

Why choose stainless races for a headset bearing?

Stainless steel resists corrosion where chrome steel races would rust and pit under sustained moisture exposure. For headsets on wet-climate bikes or trainer setups, stainless races dramatically extend service life and maintain smooth steering feel longer.

What does the 4545 designation mean?

The 4545 refers to the 45-degree contact angle on both faces of the bearing. This symmetrical geometry provides balanced load handling for typical headset applications and is the most common ACB specification in modern bicycle headsets.

Best For

Riders in wet-riding regions rebuilding headsets on trail, all-mountain, or gravel bikes where corrosion is an ongoing concern. Also a smart upgrade for any quality build where a headset bearing needs to handle moisture and heavy use without short service intervals.
