The ORBEA UIC Headset 1-1/8 Compression Ring is a small but essential component designed to keep your integrated headset running smooth, precise, and creak-free. Sitting between the steerer tube and the upper bearing, the compression ring helps preload the headset correctly, ensuring accurate steering and consistent bearing contact. This part is especially important on modern road, gravel, and mountain bikes that use integrated headsets, where clean lines and hidden hardware demand reliable internal components.
Replacing a worn or damaged compression ring can restore crisp steering feel, eliminate play, and extend the life of your headset bearings. The ORBEA UIC compression ring is tailored for 1-1/8" steerer systems, making it a practical spare to keep in your workshop or toolbox. Ideal for routine maintenance, cockpit upgrades, or frame swaps, it helps you achieve a professional-quality headset setup at home. Whether you are building a new bike or refreshing a trusted frame, this compression ring is a simple, cost-effective way to maintain safety, performance, and long-term durability in your front end.
