Cane Creek 110-Series External Cup Complete for 34mm Head-Tube (1-1/8-Inch Stem Clamp Diameter)
We're proud of our customer service and liberal return policy -- we want you to be satisfied. So we're happy to sell the Cane Creek 110-Series Headset.

And that's perfectly fine too. The Cane Creek 110-Series Headset is designed to mate a fork with a 1-1/8" straight steerer to a head tube having a 34mm I. D. on top and bottom.
