Description
The Ritchey WCS Switch EC44 headset is for frames with a 44 mm head tube designed for external cups, with a 1-1/8" to 1.5" tapered fork. Its upper bearing measures 51.9 mm, too big to fit inside a 44 mm head tube: the external cup therefore holds it above the tube.
Fitted with the WCS Switch stem, it takes the cables through two channels on its top and routes them into the frame without touching the bearings. The stem supplies the cable guide and the top cap. No spacers are included: Switch spacers are ordered separately.
