At Cykel House, we are committed to bringing you the best products at the best prices. If you find a product cheaper elsewhere, contact us via email or via live chat and we'll see if we can match that price.

We do have some criteria to meet when offering a Price Match.

  • To request a Price Match, provide the URL to the competitor’s lower price. If in-store, you can show us on your phone or a printed copy.
  • The competitor must be a UK-registered shop. All our products are brand new and genuine, therefor we cannot match prices from private sellers, auction sites, or international businesses.
  • The product must be identical to ours in condition, model, colour, and size, and the competitor must have it in stock at the time of the Price Match.

  • The competitor’s price must include VAT and delivery charges, and be listed on their website. We cannot match prices combined with other offers, including vouchers, clearance, or discontinued items.

  • Price Match offers cannot be applied after the sale is complete.

  • We cannot offer Price Matches for orders using insurance vouchers or on products purchased through finance or cycle-to-work schemes; these items must be paid in full using our usual payment methods.

  • If your Price Match is accepted, we will provide a discount code or link to complete your order. Only one discount code can be used per order.

  • All Price Match requests are subject to Cykel House's discretion, and we reserve the right to decline, alter, or withdraw this offer at any time.

Please note, whilst we can Price Match the majority of products, sending this information does not guarantee a price match is viable.

Why We Make This

Contemporary bicycle frame designs are incorporating larger diameter headtubes and forks with tapered-steerers to improve the bike’s front end stiffness, and as a result handling accuracy. This move has made particular sense for off-road bikes. We evolved the form and function of our legendary NoThreadset to address the variety of tapered steerers and headtubes on the market today.

Why You Want It

Every Chris King headset is built with our heat-treated bearings, and surgical-grade steel races machined simultaneously to ensure they are perfectly matched. As Chris King bearing tracks age and burnish, they actually get smoother, and all headsets are fully serviceable for years upon years of demanding riding.

Our InSet™ 5 is built for riders using a 1.5” tapered fork that needs the legendary precision of a Chris King headset on their bike with a 49mm headtube. Our InSet™ 5 is equipped with our exclusive in-house built bearings and our patented GripLock® system to keep your steering precise and dependable.

Features

  • Engineered, manufactured and assembled in Portland, Oregon USA
  • King Lifetime Warranty
  • Legendary made-in-house bearings
  • Patented GripLock® retention design for dependable headset adjustment (US Patent 8662517)
  • Responsibly lightweight
  • Designed specifically for a 49mm straight headtube and a 1-1/8” to 1.5” tapered steerer tube
