Overview
This MagCAD headset kit replaces the bearing cover and spacers on the 2012-2015 Specialized Venge road bike and allows you to fit the latest S-Works Tarmac SL7 stem. The update improves the aesthetics and integration between cockpit and frame and allows you to then attach cycle computers and accessories directly to the stem faceplate.

The remodeled headset bearing cover and spacers link the integrated design of the latest Tarmac SL7 stem to the more rounded shape of the older 2012-2015 Venge. The 2012-2015 Venge has external cables, therefore this headset kit does not have any provision for internal cable routing.

​Application
The individual parts of the MagCAD headset kit are 3D printed in a durable Nylon to ensure they are robust to many years of use. As with any steering related components they should be installed by a competent mechanic and inspected regularly. Incorrect assembly or mis-use may result in damage to the headset components.
  1. The MagCAD headset bearing cover comes with a rubber O-ring pre-installed. When fitting to your fork steerer care should be taken not to pinch the O-ring.
  2. Check the clearance between bearing cover and frame and if required fit headset shims (not supplied) to ensure there is no contact between the two.
  3. The kit is supplied with a 5mm "top" spacer that must be installed at the top of the headset stack. It is designed to match the shape of the stem and allow the Tarmac SL7 stem cover (not supplied) to lock in place.
  4. Depending on your bike setup you may not need all of the headset spacers. The kit is supplied with enough spacers for a 25mm gap between headset cap and stem.
  5. Torque settings and bearing preload remains the same as specified by Specialized.
Material
MagCAD Mounts are 3D printed in Nylon PA12. However these are not your typical home 3D printers. Following a process of SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) on industrial size printers, costing anything above £100k, the resulting mounts have fantastic resolution and refinement. The surface finish is slightly rough with a matte effect and the performance of the mounts are comparable to injection moulded parts.

Customisation
As with all MagCAD items it's more than possible to tweak or change the design to suit your particular installation. Feel free to get in contact for more details.
