With a 45×45-degree contact angle, this H1-spec unit is built to handle the lateral and axial loads that Indian road conditions — from Pune's potholed descents to Delhi's long tarmac stretches — constantly throw at your front end.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndia's roads are unforgiving to cheap headset bearings. The Aurum TH MR042S uses a 45×45-degree contact angle that distributes load efficiently, which matters when you're grinding over broken surfaces around Hyderabad or absorbing repeated shocks on the Western Ghats. For riders who check their cockpit play only when steering goes vague, this bearing is a quiet, affordable upgrade that simply keeps the front end honest and precise. Solid value at Rs. 1,000.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizing for Indian Riders\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bearing is specified for 1-1\/8\" steerer tubes, the most common standard on road and endurance frames sold across India. Before ordering, confirm your headset cup inner diameter matches the MR042S outer race dimensions. Riders on older steel or aluminium frames common in Chennai or Kolkata should cross-reference their existing bearing part number to ensure a direct drop-in fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe TH MR042S is a 45×45-degree angular contact cartridge bearing for 1-1\/8\" headset systems. It is compatible with integrated and semi-integrated headset cups using the H1 bearing specification. Not suitable for tapered steerer forks. Clean and re-grease the cup seat during installation to prevent moisture ingress, especially during the monsoon season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePairs Well With\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eComplete your front-end overhaul with a quality headset press tool, bearing grease or anti-seize compound, stem and spacer kit, and fork star-fangled nut. Keeping these items together means one service session covers your entire cockpit, saving time on future maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/aurum\"\u003eExplore the full Aurum collection at Cobbled Climbs\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy from Cobbled Climbs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% genuine — authorised Aurum retailer in India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree delivery on orders above Rs. 2,500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCash on delivery available nationwide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7-day easy returns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShipped from Mumbai\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpert advice — our team rides this gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Aurum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67397433458861,"sku":null,"price":1000.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.cobbledclimbs.com\/products\/th-mr042s-1-1-8-45x45-h1","provider":"Cobbled Climbs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
