_Stainless steel headset
Due to hard riding and long forks headsets with bearing cups of short depth are not strong enough and are not able to absorb the stress and loads inflicted upon them, thus leading, most of the time, to ovalised head tube in the bearing area. To prevent this, we recommend that all NICOLAI models with a 1 1/8” head tube (except Argon CC, Saturn, Nonius, Nucleon AMX and Helius CC) to be used and abused be mounted with a headset with at least 22mm deep stainless steel bearing cups. For frames with a 1.5 steering tube we recommend headsets with at least 15 mm deep cups. The head tube on these models are already prepared to receive a so-called steel-set. Older Nicolai models for which a head set with deep cups is recommended can be reconditioned by us for the installation of an appropriate headset. Damages to the head tube, following the mounting of an inappropriate headset despite our previous recommendations, will not be covered by our warranty.
For 1 1/8 head tubes the Nicolai Fett Set with it’s 1“ deep stainless steel bearing cups and oversized sealed ball bearings is perfectly suited for extreme use. This increased cup depth will allow for the forces of an impact to be distributed more evenly throughout the head tube area.
