About Headset Lowers

 
Bicycle handebars can be rotated smoothly because of the headset. A headset, in simplest terms, is a bicycle part which serves as the rotational surface for the bike’s fork and the steering mechanism attached to the steerer tube. Headsets rotate because of the bearings inside its top and bottom parts.
 
All headsets consist of two parts: a top cap, or headset uppers; and a bottom cap, or headset lowers. There are many types of headsets based on structural design – that is, how they are attached to the hea tube. These types are threadless headsets, integrated headsets, and internal headsets.
 
A headset assembly is the term for the configuration of the headset uppers and lowers. It is important because the right confiuraytion allows the bike to be steered smoothly. A headset assembly is basically the installation of the top and bottom cap with its bearing set onto the head tube. The upper part has an inclined surface and a vertical interior. The flange of the pressing ring is matched with the vertical inside of the upper. The headset lower completes the assembly. It is installed at the bottom of the head tube. A dust cap is connected onto the top of the pressing, while the dust cap skirt encloses the lower part of the bearing set.
