Cane Creek HCR Headset Tapered EC44/28.6/H19 | EC44/40/H12

A clean cockpit where adjustments, maintenance and transport still remain simple? This is exactly where Cane Creek comes in with the HCR system. HCR stands for Hidden Cable Routing. The cables and hoses disappear into a channel under the stem and are guided through the matching spacers to the headset.

Because the brake hoses are not completely enclosed, you can change the spacer setup or replace individual parts of the system without disconnecting the brake hoses. This facilitates subsequent fit adjustments and service work on the cockpit as well as transport of bike bags.

The Cane Creek HCR tapered headset EC44/28.6/H19 | EC44/40/H12 guides the brake hoses into the head tube and protects the bearings from water and dirt with an extensive sealing system. A special cable seal engages with the top cover and is supplemented by further seals on the steerer tube, bearing and crown race.

The stainless steel bearings come from the Cane Creek Hellbender series. External bearing cups made from machined 6061-T6 aluminium are used at the top and bottom. The headset fits frames with 44 mm bearing seats and tapered steerer tubes from 1 1/8" to 1.5".
