IS42\/IS52 is integrated only. Not ZS. Not EC. Slam version lowers stack height — great for aggressive road\/gravel builds but check steerer tube length before committing. Stainless Hellbender bearings hold up well in wet riding compared to cheaper headset bearings. If frame bearing seats are worn or carbon is damaged, no headset will fix that. Always grease bearing seats lightly to prevent creak. Good upgrade for riders chasing lower front-end without swapping fork.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Cane Creek","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53103237005626,"sku":"GG-HEADSET-CC-HB70SLAM-IS42IS52-BLK","price":107.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0745\/5735\/8394\/files\/350021-2.jpg?v=1772324413","url":"https:\/\/gograva.com\/products\/cane-creek-hellbender-70-slam-integrated-headset-is42-is52","provider":"Grava Adventure Corporation","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
