[S.H.I.S.] Standardized Headset Identification System
H
BEARING LOCATION/CUP TYPES
The Standardized Headset Identification System (S.H.I.S.) creates a common language for describing modern bicycle headsets. The system provides comprehensive and scalable headset fitment information in a standardized format, making it easy to communicate headset requirements based on frame and fork interfaces.
EC (External Cup)
Bearings contained within cups that are located outside of the frame.
ZS (ZeroStack)
Bearings contained within pressed-in cups where the cup and bearings rest inside the frame.
IS (Integrated)
Bearings that fit directly into a bonded or machined interface that is integrated into the frame.
The system addresses the critical interface dimensions required to fit a fork to a frame, as well as bearing location/cup type. To determine fit, four dimensions are needed: (1) stem-clamp diameter of fork, (2) crown-race seat diameter of fork, (3) head-tube top inside diameter, and (4) head-tube SECTION J-J bottom inside diameter. Bearing location and cup-type are identified as (a) external cup (EC), (b) semi-integrated or ZeroStack (ZS), or (c) integrated (IS). SECTION H-H

The AER Series II headset incorporates Saint-Gobain Performance Plastic’s latest innovation in composite bearing technology, Norglide T. A revolution in bearing technology, the T material sandwiches an aluminum base between a layer of low-friction PTFE tape and an elastomeric rubber backing material yielding a composite bearing that weighs a scant 1.5 g. The Norglide T bearing is durable enough to provide over 450 hours of smooth steering.
