Constructed from CNC-machined 6061 aluminum with sealed bearings, this headset includes both 1.5\" and 1-1\/8\" lower fork races, allowing use with either tapered forks or standard 1-1\/8\" forks converted to fit tapered head tubes. Includes a complete compression kit with top cap, star nut, and compression bolt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTapered integrated design\u003c\/strong\u003e – Fits frames with integrated tapered head tubes (1.5\" bottom cup, 1-1\/8\" top cup) for clean aesthetics and reduced stack height\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCNC-machined 6061 aluminum construction\u003c\/strong\u003e – Lightweight alloy top cap and compression components provide durability at 93 grams total weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUltra-smooth sealed bearings\u003c\/strong\u003e – Sealed cartridge bearings protect against dirt and moisture while providing low-friction steering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual lower fork race options\u003c\/strong\u003e – Includes two 7075 aluminum fork races: one for 1.5\" tapered steerer tubes and one conversion race for 1-1\/8\" steerer tubes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFork conversion capability\u003c\/strong\u003e – The 1-1\/8\" conversion race allows standard non-tapered forks to work with tapered frame head tubes when used with the included 1.5\" lower bearing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplete compression kit\u003c\/strong\u003e – Includes fully CNC'd alloy top cap, star nut, and compression bolt for ready-to-install setup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeadset type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tapered integrated (IS42\/28.6 top, IS52\/40 bottom)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead tube compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1-1\/8\" upper, 1.5\" lower (tapered)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteerer tube compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1-1\/8\" to 1.5\" tapered, or 1-1\/8\" straight (with conversion race)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6061 aluminum (top cap, compression components), 7075 aluminum (fork races)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBearings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sealed cartridge bearings (1-1\/8\" upper, 1.5\" lower)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 93 grams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded components:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 × 1-1\/8\" upper bearing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 × 1.5\" lower bearing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 × CNC aluminum top cap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 × star nut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 × compression bolt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 × 7075 aluminum lower fork races (1.5\" tapered and 1-1\/8\" conversion)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility and Ideal Use Cases\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis headset fits BMX frames with tapered integrated head tubes only—specifically frames designed for 1-1\/8\" upper and 1.5\" lower cups. It will NOT fit frames with standard 1-1\/8\" straight head tubes or external cup headsets. Compatible with either tapered forks (1-1\/8\" upper, 1.5\" lower steerer tube) using the 1.5\" fork race, or standard 1-1\/8\" straight steerer forks using the included conversion race. \u003cstrong\u003eImportant limitation:\u003c\/strong\u003e The 1-1\/8\" conversion race will not work on forks with integrated (built-in) lower bearing races on the steerer tube—it requires a fork with a separate press-on race design. Ideal for modern BMX race frames and high-end freestyle frames that use tapered head tubes for increased front-end stiffness. The conversion race option is useful for riders who want to run standard 1-1\/8\" forks in tapered frames. Verify your frame's head tube and fork steerer tube specifications before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp.\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cfont size=\"2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p.\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\u003ci style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\u003ci style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e**Due to unique nature of this item, ALL sales of this product are FINAL.
