Cane Creek 110-Series Crown Race — 52/40mm Alloy (Tapered 1.5" Fork Crown)

This is a replacement Cane Creek alloy crown race designed for forks with a 40mm crown race seat and headsets that use a 52mm lower bearing. This version is typically used on tapered steerer forks with a 1.5" lower interface, but uses Cane Creek’s lighter alloy construction instead of steel.

If your crown race is damaged, corroded, or missing, this restores correct bearing alignment and smooth steering.

Key Functional Details

• Alloy crown race for Cane Creek headsets
• 52mm lower bearing interface
• 40mm fork crown race seat diameter
• 110-Series lightweight alloy construction
• Interchangeable across Cane Creek 110, 40, 10, and legacy S/XX series when dimensions match

Compatibility & Technical Notes

• Fork crown race seat diameter must be exactly 40mm
• Lower headset bearing must be 52mm
• Common on tapered steerers with 1.5" lower fork crowns
• Not compatible with straight 1-1/8" steerers (those require 30mm crown races)
• Intended for Cane Creek headsets — compatibility with other brands is not guaranteed
• Requires proper crown race installation tool for correct seating

Service / Ownership Context

This crown race must be pressed squarely onto the fork crown using a crown race setting tool. Improper installation can deform the race or damage the lower bearing. Replace anytime the race shows pitting, corrosion, or deformation.
