Cane Creek 10 Zero Stack Headset polymer crown race
I just received a Cane Creek 10 ZS headset and it says it includes a lightweight polymer crown race. What I think is the crown race is plastic and has a slit in it like the upper compression ring. Never seeing one of these, can I assume this is the correct race? It sure doesn't look very durable.

if you wanted better materials shoulda got the 40 series or better? no?

The split is fine since the plate just supports the lower bearing cartridge and nothing actually rolls on it.
One thing I like about the concept is that it eliminated the need for a raised crown seat, simplifying fork design and construction. |

Actually the split is a pretty nice design. The lower cone (my name for this) shares the same key design feature of the upper centering cone, which is the critical patented element that made threadless headsets possible in the first place. Like the one at the top is uses the conical shape to convert vertical force to constriction against the fork.

There are Engineered polymers , and then there is just plastic ..

Hi. I am assembling a road bike and have the same issue as the creator of this thread. Can I assume the need for installing the crown race with the hammer and pipe (or proper tool - as I have read on other threads, but not experienced), is no longer needed?

OTOH, if it isn't split, then it's a press on and you'll need a slide hammer (faced pipe). |
Wow, that fast. I was hoping that was the answer - Thanks!
