For the cyclists out there looking for a reliable, smooth-rolling headset, this Ritchey WCS External Cup model is a solid choice. It's like the workhorse of their threadless headset lineup - built tough but with some nice performance features. The cups are precision-machined from lightweight aluminum, and it uses sealed cartridge bearings with a 45/45-degree hybrid ceramic design that have a titanium coating for extra durability. The sealed design is great because it keeps dirt, water, and other elements out, meaning smoother rotation for longer. It comes packed with Ritchey's own grease too. The stack height is 28mm for 1-inch setups and 28.5mm for 1 1/8 inch. It's designed for headtubes with an ID of 30.2mm (1-inch) or 34mm (1 1/8 inch). The specific model here is the EC30/25.4 upper and EC30/26 lower configuration. It weighs just 106g in black and includes the top cap. If you're building up a bike or replacing a worn headset, this Ritchey option offers quality construction and reliable performance that many riders trust.
