What is this headset's name per the Standardized Headset Identification System

Bicycles Asked on August 31, 2021

The Park Tool website has a page describing the standardized headset identification system.

I would like to confirm that I’ve understood it properly. Is this bottom section of a press-fit headset shown in the picture a ZS56/40?

NOTE: I’ve taken measurements with inexpensive digital calipers and the fractional component of the value can change significantly depending on how much force is applied when turning the thumbwheel.

One Answer

Yes ZS56/40 - Zero stack with 56 mm bore diameter and 40 mm fork crown race.

It is zero stack because it is a black cup containing the silver bearing, but the bearing ends up inside the frame tube (i.e. not external). The 56.10 mm dimension gives a snug interference fit with a 56 mm head tube ( bore diameter). The 39.95 or so is about the 40 mm dimension that interfaces with the crown race/steerer tube. That last measurement seems slightly tight but possibly measurement error, tolerances aside it would be called a 40 mm.
