The 40-Series is the work-horse of Cane Creek's headset line-up. The series incorporates all the features necessary for a durable, light-weight, long-lasting headset and represents the perfect balance of performance, durability and value. Suitable for any type of bike including road, gravel MTB. The new ZN40 bearings are a zinc-coated, machined steel cartridge bearing with hardened steel balls. The new material is much more corrosion-resistant, which vastly increases the longevity of the 40 series headsets

- Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2021Color: BlackVerified PurchaseMight not have the fancy name but the quality is just as good as that other brand-very smooth and looks great.
The crown race has the dust seal molded in and you will need a appropriate driver. The cups install easily with a length of threaded rod a couple nuts and washers.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2014Color: BlackVerified PurchaseBought an older Bianchi steel frame bike that I wanted to upgrade to a carbon fork. There are limited options for 1" headsets, but I'd had good luck with Cane Creek headsets before, and the price was right, so I decided to go with this headset. I've been quite pleased with this headset! It's performed very well, and looks great too. Highly recommend.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2024Color: BlackVerified PurchasePerfect fit for 1" headset on threaded steer tube. Just purchase 1" to 1"1/8 shim for stem.and 1" steer tube spacers. You can now use 31.8.bars and stem.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2015Color: BlackVerified PurchaseI've installed about half a dozen of the Cane Creek headsets that preceded this model (S2, S3) and had never had trouble with my "DIY" homemade tools. This was not the case with the 40 series.
Race: I typically use a length of PVC pipe to set the headset race on the fork crown. This technique immediately tore the flimsy rubber seal on the 40-series' race, completely negating any hope of keeping water away from the bearings. I ended up ordering a replacement race from my LBS and the accompanying race installation tool... another thirty bucks that I wasn't planning on spending.
Cups: These have a recessed ridge at the lip which proved very difficult to set in my frame without mis-alignment. The upper and lower cups themselves have a very lightweight, fragile appearance and remind me more of the walls of a soda can than of a heavy-duty component for a mountain or touring bike. You'll notice that Cane Creek is selling a specialized installation tool for these pieces now, as well.
I find this disappointing, since Cane Creek used to be the "sane" alternative to the high-priced bling of King, which has always required fancy specialized tools. Not sure if it's Cane Creek's desire to shave tenths of a gram from their products or to squeeze a few more dollars from the home mechanics who are installing their stuff...
One last note: I own both the "ten" and the "forty" series, and they're nearly identical. The ten, priced in the same range that the S2 / S3 models used to reside, uses identical bearings (mine even came marked "40") but skimps on the crown race and top cap, which are both plastic. The forty series at least nets you a properly durable alloy for those components.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2015Color: BlackVerified PurchaseCould not use the Cane Creek headset with the Nashbar Carbon front forks with the 1" steerer that I purchased. The bottom diameter on the forks was not 1". The bearing race is 1", top and bottom. Took it to a bike shop were they had to measure it and look for a headset that worked. Turned out I had to get an unsealed bearing which worked out fine. The Cane Creek headset looks like a good product but my review has to be incomplete because I did not use it.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2016Color: BlackVerified PurchaseThey are my favorite Headsets! I do many Bike builds & Single speed conversions.
Cane Creek 40 always are a perfect fit,light & work smooth as silk! Sent fast too.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2022Color: BlackVerified PurchaseI needed this part badly, Had three days to get installed before next big race. Waited two days for package to arrive. Had one day to put together for race. Opened box that appeared to be a return,( grease in cup, sealed bearings,no grease). Missing one bearing and the fork race. Cannot use with missing parts,VERRY dissapointed.
