The DropSet 2 is Chris King's first integrated headset and is manufactured with the usual reliable Chris King precision. Over 40 years of experience in the manufacture of high-quality bicycle parts went into the design of the DropSet.
The proven GripLock is a patented design that preloads the headset independently of the clamp on the handlebar. The GripLock design ensures that the Chris King DropSet holds the preload better than comparable products and is also insensitive to the negative effects of load peaks such as large impacts and heavy braking. This means smoother steering, no more creaking and a longer service life.
