BME Headset SB01July 2003
This headset was designed in an attempt to decrease the overall weight and to reduce the number of headset parts. The elimination of ball bearings (which in my opinion are not necessary in bicycle headsets) and substitution with slide bearings doesn't sound a very good solution, but it really works...
Specifications:
- new patented design
- precision machined duralumin parts
- slide bearings with special anti-friction coatings
- long-lasting testing of prototypes
- 1" or 1 1/8" size
- weight of 1 1/8" headset: 66 g (2.3 oz)
- weight of 1" headset: 38.5 g (1.36 oz)
