The Blackbearing Ball Cage 5/32-27 is an ultra-high-density bearing retainer designed for 1.5" (1-1/2 inch) bicycle headsets. Featuring an impressive 27-ball configuration, this cage is engineered for the larger bearing races found in modern tapered head tubes and "oversized" mountain bike or performance road bike setups.

Features

• Maximum Stability for 1.5" Steerers: Sized specifically for the massive lower cups of tapered 1.5-inch headsets, providing the critical support needed for long-travel forks and aggressive riding.

• Ultra-High Contact Density (27 Balls): By packing 27 balls into the retainer, Blackbearing maximizes the surface area of the bearing. This reduces the pressure on each individual ball, significantly decreasing the chance of the headset "indexing" (getting stuck in a centered notch).

• Smooth Steering Geometry: The precise spacing of the steel cage ensures that the front end of the bike rotates with minimal friction, vital for technical descending and precise handling.

• High-Strength Steel Construction: Built to withstand the heavy vertical impacts and lateral forces common in Enduro, Downhill, and modern Gravel racing.
