White Industries headsets include one crown race so you don’t need to buy one here unless you lost yours or want to use a different fork with your White Industries headset. Our crown races are designed with a “split” to allow for tool-free installation and removal. Check out the chart below to see which crown race you need for your headset and fork combination.
These lockrings fasten our TSR 1x and VBC 2x chainrings to our crank arms. There are two different versions, one for our MR30 cranks, and one for our ENO/Square Taper Road Cranks.
The White Industries IS42 | IS42 Threadless Headset delivers smooth steering, lasting durability, and timeless style for modern bicycles. We machine, polish, engrave, and inspect every headset in our Petaluma, California facility. As a result, the IS42 | IS42 offers the premium craftsmanship and dependable performance riders have trusted for decades.
For more than 30 years, White Industries has designed components that prioritize precision, reliability, and serviceability. The IS42 | IS42 Threadless Headset continues that tradition with premium materials, thoughtful engineering, and a clean, refined design built to last.
Every headset features premium Enduro stainless steel angular contact bearings for smooth, consistent steering in all riding conditions. These bearings are fully replaceable, making routine maintenance quick and easy while extending the life of your headset.
The IS42 | IS42 also features our split crown race design. It installs and removes by hand without specialized tools, making future service simple. In addition, every headset receives precision machine-engraved logos—not laser etched—for a premium finish that reflects the attention to detail found in every White Industries component.
The White Industries IS42 | IS42 Threadless Headset is designed for frames with integrated 42mm upper and lower head tubes. It is compatible with straight 1-1/8-inch (28.6mm) fork steerers, making it an excellent choice for many modern road, gravel, cyclocross, and commuter bikes. Because headset standards vary between manufacturers, we recommend confirming your bike’s SHIS (Standardized Headset Identification System) specifications before placing your order to ensure the correct fit.
Whether you’re replacing a worn headset or completing a custom bike build, the White Industries IS42 | IS42 Threadless Headset delivers smooth performance, premium craftsmanship, and American-made quality built to last.
