Ritchey RL1 External Cup EC Threaded Headset Description:
For anyone who is looking to refurbish an older bike that has a quill style stem and a threaded steerer tube, the Ritchey RL1 External Cup EC Threaded Headset is a durable and smooth headset that is a nice upgrade to consider. Aluminum alloy cups keep the weight of this headset down and prevent rust and corrosion from building up if riding in less than ideal conditions. Retainer style steel bearings roll on steel races to ensure a long life, and generously sized flats on the top cap and nut ensure there is plenty of surface area to lock in a bearing adjustment to ensure optimal smoothness. Last but not least, the understated black finish and subtle Ritchey logo looks great on any frame and ensures everyone knows you don’t compromise on the quality of parts you put on your bikes.

- Alloy cups reduce weight and resist corroding in nasty conditions
- Hardened steel balls are retained in a steel retainer to keep the bearings at an optimal distance from each other, ensuring a smoother operation
