Using this Cane Creek headset is easy. First, make sure your bike's head tube is compatible with the S.H.I.S upper (IS41) and lower (IS52) specifications. You can directly fit the integrated bearings into the head tube without a bearing press. When installing, keep the carbon - friendly compression ring in the top cover to hold the shims properly. As for maintenance, since it has sealed stainless - steel bearings, they are protected from dirt and moisture, but it's still a good idea to clean the headset regularly. Wipe it down with a clean cloth after each ride. Check the aluminum cups and the crown race for any signs of wear or damage. If you notice anything unusual, contact Cane Creek support as the product comes with a 110 - year warranty. Also, ensure that the Interlok spacer, if used, is in good condition and properly installed.
