  • We currently stock black, but other colors are available for special order. 
  • Will only work with frames that have a headtube reamed to 44mm OD upper and 56mm OD lower.
  • Designed for Tapered forks
  • Includes crown race

Will this work for a 2013 Bianchi Super Pista?
answered by: t.young
No, this is a zero stack and the Bianchi comes with an integrated headset.

Hi, Will this work on a Jet 9 RDO - I think not, but I thought I would check.
Thanks
answered by: t.young
The Jet 9 RDO uses an integrated headset, so a zero stack won't work. Look for an IS42|IS52 for that bike.
