The Blackbearing Ball Cage 5/32-20 is a specialized high-density bearing retainer designed for 1-1/8" bicycle headsets. Featuring 20 precision-grade balls, this cage is a critical component for riders looking to restore smooth, indexed-free steering to modern mountain bikes and road bikes that utilize traditional cup-and-cone headset systems.
Features
-
Optimized for 1-1/8" Standards: Specifically sized to fit the larger races of 1-1/8 inch (28.6mm) steerers, which are the standard for most modern mountain and road bikes.
-
High Ball Density (20 Balls): The 20-ball configuration provides more contact points than standard 16-ball cages. This results in superior load distribution, reducing the risk of "brinelling" (permanent dents in the headset cups) and ensuring buttery-smooth steering.
-
Ease of Installation: The steel retainer eliminates the need to manually place 20 loose balls into a greased cup, significantly speeding up headset overhauls and preventing lost parts.
-
Professional Grade: Manufactured by Blackbearing to strict tolerances, ensuring that each ball is perfectly spherical and hardened to withstand high axial and radial impacts from the fork.
