Headtube Size
How Ovalized?

Ovalized steel or aluminum headtube?

Whether it's due to single-crown forks getting longer, jumps getting bigger or bikes simply getting ridden harder, ovalizing your headtube sucks. But it doesn't necessarily mean your frame is toast.

From over 25 years experience in the bike industry, we know most headtubes will only go out of round by a small amount. They will usually measure up to 0.2mm oversize front-to-back. If this is the case, then an oversized cup can be installed, making your bike ridable once again.Ā 

Which size? Just measure and divide by two...

  • If your headtube measures up to 0.2mm oversize front-to-back, choose theĀ +0.1mm option.Ā 
  • For those of you who have really sent it(!) and get a measurement of up to 0.4mmĀ oversize, better choose the +0.2mm option.

METAL FRAMES ONLY - Not for use with carbon frames!

All Frame Saver cups accept a 45 degree headset bearing from CaneCreek, Enduro, FSA, Wolftooth and most other brands.

Aluminum

Super strong and lightweight, aluminum (or alumin(i)um as it is known in the motherland) is an excellent choice for high perfomance, durable parts. It doesn't cost the earth, yet is arguably the perfect material for most things found on a bicycle.

Okuma Genos L200E-M

The Okuma Genos L200E-M is a compact, high-precision horizontal CNC lathe built for turning and light milling work. Itā€™s designed to handle parts up to about 200 mm in diameter and ~380 mm long with good rigidity and accuracy thanks to its cast iron base and solid guideways. It usually has a 12-station turret with live tooling and C-axis control, letting it cut and mill features in a single setup. The machine runs on an Okuma OSP control and offers a spindle up to around 4,500 rpm with about 11-15 kW power, so itā€™s strong enough for precision job shop or production work. Because of the live tooling and CNC control, parts made on this machine tend to have tight tolerances and consistent surface finishes.
