RITCHEY Comp Switch Upper Press Fit 1.5" ZS55 Headset for 80 Stem

The RITCHEY Comp Switch Upper Press Fit 1.5" ZS55 headset is an essential component of the new Ritchey Switch system. Specifically designed for the Ritchey Switch stem, it plays a crucial role in routing cables, wires and hydraulic hoses from the handlebar to the bike frame.

In practice, cables are routed from the handlebar into the headset conduit, located on the underside of the Switch stem. They then pass through an opening at the front of the Switch headset spacers before following two channels on top of the headset and entering the frame. This ingenious system allows the headset bearings to operate without any interference from cables, wires or lines passing through the steerer tube.

In summary, the Comp ZS56/28.6 headset optimises cable routing smoothness between the handlebar and the frame, thus guaranteeing a seamless riding experience and optimal aerodynamic performance.
