Cane Creek Hellbender 70 ZS44/28.6 - EC44/40 Headset

High quality, but moderately priced: the Hellbender 70 ZS/EC Headset by Cane Creek

The Cane Creek Hellbender 70 headset serves as a link between the 40 and the 110 headset series. Design elements, seals and bearings are similar to the 110 series headsets, but the price is closer to the 40 series. Perfect protection against dust, mud and other contaminants is provided by the top and double lower bearing seals. The Cane Creek Hellbender stainless steel bearing defies even the most adverse weather conditions, the black anodized aluminium bearing cups testify to high quality. Thus, the Hellbender 70 headset affords longevity and reliability that was previously only found in the 110 series.

Standardized Headset Identification System (S.H.I.S.):

In order to clarify and bring uniformity to a sea of headset standards, manufacturers Acros, Cane Creek, Hope, Race Face, Reset Racing and Ritchey have agreed upon using a shared nomenclature, which will likely include more participating companies in the future. This system takes into account a combination of frame and fork dimensions. Both the top and bottom parts of the headset are marked by two alphanumeric identifiers. The first identifier indicates the type of headset (External Cup, Zero Stack, Integrated) and head tube diameter. The second identifier - separated from the first by a backslash - indicates the diameter of the steerer tube. When referring to a complete headset, the specifications of both top and bottom parts must be combined.

Nomenclature:

EC:

Bearings contained within headset cups that are located outside of the frame (External Cup)

ZS:

Bearings contained within pressed-in headset cups where the cup and bearings rest inside the frame (Zero Stack)

IS:

Bearings that fit directly into a bonded or machined interface that is integrated into the frame (Integrated)
