Ideal for anyone replacing a worn headset bearing and wanting a correctly matched, individually supplied replacement rather than a complete new headset.
A headset bearing is a small part with a big effect on how your bike steers. BlackBearing Headset Bearings are designed specifically for cycling and provide a replacement for an original bearing that has developed play, roughness or excess resistance. With nearly 40 individual bearing references available, the range covers a wide selection of headset dimensions and applications.
Inside, oblique-contact construction uses chrome steel balls and rings made from SAE52100 steel, supported by high-quality grease and seals designed for steering bearings. The range is intended to withstand demanding conditions, making it a sensible choice for bikes used regularly in wet, dirty or intensive environments.
Correct identification is essential: headset bearings vary in outside diameter, height and contact angle, and apparently similar bearings are not necessarily interchangeable. BlackBearing options cover 36°, 45° and 90° contact angles, with compatibility across 1-inch, 1 1/8-inch, 1 1/4-inch, 1 1/2-inch and Cannondale steering pivot applications. Check the dimensions and angle of your existing bearing before ordering; we’re happy to help match the correct reference.
