The Salt AM Aheadset BMX headset in black is designed for BMX frames with classic, pressed-in bottom bracket shells. Particularly practical is the hollow-bored crown race screw, through which the brake cable of a front brake can be routed. This also makes the headset suitable for BMX bikes with a rotor. Robust steel bearing races and sealed ball bearings complement the classic ahead design.

The Salt AM Aheadset BMX headset in black is a classic solution for BMX frames with pressed-in bottom bracket shells. The sturdy steel cups house ball bearings in the cage and enable smooth steering.
A particularly important detail is the hollow-drilled screw of the star nut. Its opening allows the front brake cable to be routed directly through the steerer tube. This is especially interesting for BMX bikes with a rotor, as the handlebars can be turned without the front brake cable wrapping around the outside of the stem.
The headset has a press-fit dimension of 34.0 mm and is designed for non-threaded steerer tubes with a diameter of 1 1/8 inches. An aluminum compression ring and a one-piece crown race complete the construction.
The aluminum top cap is 6 mm high, and the spacer measures 10 mm. The total weight is approx. 184 g.
