The LifeLine Torx Star Key TwinHead T25 has become and essential tool for any mechanic as the popularity of torx bolts increases in the cycling industry.
It's strong enough for downhill use, yet still light enough for cross-country, this Hope Conventional Headset includes custom-made stainless steel bearings (which are replaceable). The cups, taper ring and crown race (which is split for easy installation and removal) are all machined from 2014 T6 aluminium. It is also possible to fit a standard 1.1/8" steerer using an additional conversion crown (sold separately). All Hope headsets come complete with the Head Doctor. This Hope EC34 Headset also has advanced sealing that's achieved through an adjustable taper ring cover and integrated rubber seal. The bearings also incorporate their own sealing and are made from stainless steel to resist corrosion - a real advantage over a conventional steel bearing.
Hope Pick and Mix headset cups and bearings are sold as individual top or bottom components. They are ideal for building up frames with tapered head tubes, converting frames with larger head tubes to fit standard fork steerers or for replacing damaged cups/bearings individually. There are 6 top cup options and 8 bottom cup options to choose from, these are designed to fit modern road and mountain bike frames; older 1” and threaded standards are not included. Hope Pick And Mix Headset cups/bearings are available for three headset standards; External, Integral and Integrated. Please refer to the guide below to choose the right size and standard for your frame and fork.

The two aluminium wedges of the strong and reliable Hope Head Doctor simply pull together and expand inside any 1.1/8" fork steerer tube, giving you a solid thread to pull the stem down.
Made from tough and durable 2014 aluminium, the four sizes in the Hope Space Doctor Headset spacers pack include two 5mm, one 10mm and one 20mm size. This enables you to run a low and slammed setup (ideal for road racing or cross country (XC) riding) or a more upright setup (ideal for road endurance, all mountain (AM) or enduro riding). The colouring and finish on these custom machined head spacers complement Hope's headsets and stems perfectly.

Most Ritchey headsets feature angular contact bearings to provide better support for maximum bearing life and smoothness - with none of the slop that plagues less sophisticated designs.
Ideal for bikes with conventional head tubes, the Ritchey Comp V2 Headset features a cartridge bearing, and a smaller upper bearing to save weight, while the lightweight, precision-machined aluminium cups are deep for solid insertion. Headsets don't always get the attention they deserve; beautiful handlebars and stems can be so distracting... But this component is the interface between frame, fork and stem, and the basis for precision steering. This is why the Ritchey Comp V2 Conventional model is built to take the abuse of bad roads and tough mountain bike (MTB) trails while delivering smooth, reliable performance over the long haul. Please Note: Not compatible with Ritchey WCS Carbon forks with integrated 45-degree crown race. Additional Features: Smaller semi-cartridge upper bearing to save weight Oversize semi-cartridge lower bearing to handle loads Manufacturer's Part Number: 33032617001
