Headsets
If your bike’s headset is rattling or creaking, it’s probably time for a replacement. A worn or damaged headset doesn’t just affect your ride — it can also harm your frame. Investing in a high‑quality, smooth headset is one of the best ways to improve handling and overall performance.
When choosing a new headset, make sure it matches your frame type. You’ll need to know whether your bike uses an internal, external, or integrated headset. Sizes vary, but 1 ⅛‑inch is the most common. Tapered headsets are also becoming increasingly popular on modern road bikes for added stiffness and control.
