DIA-COMPE, created and brought to market the modern threadless headset.. the Aheadset. Patented, and licensed to manufacture by numerous companies, the Aheadset is the established successor of the traditional threaded headset.
Cane Creek headsets are manufactured by DIA-COMPE.


Miche was sub-contracted by Campagnolo when their own production couldn't meet demand. Miche manufactured 'Campy' Record hubs.

for the trivia buffs: Miche is a contraction of Michelin, the surname of the founder Fernandino Michelin (no relation to the French Tire-making family AFAIK, just coincidence). Established in 1919, Treviso, Italia.
