Product Information

Full details

The Deda Elementi IN-5 is a premium integrated headset designed for cyclists and mechanics building high-performance road or mountain bikes with tapered 1 1/8 inch to 1.5 inch head tubes. It delivers exceptionally smooth steering performance through high-quality angular contact chrome steel bearings, making it an ideal choice for precision-focused builds. While it offers a sleek 9.6mm stack height and lightweight 76g construction, users must ensure their frame specifically supports the required 46.0mm upper and 56.0mm lower integrated head tube dimensions before purchase.

What is the stack height?

Are the bearings serviceable?

Troubleshooting

Steering feels gritty or notchy

Clean the bearings thoroughly and apply fresh, high-quality bicycle bearing grease.

Handlebar play despite tightening the stem

Verify the top cover is not bottoming out on the head tube and that the compression ring is properly seated.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-grade chrome steel bearings for durability
  • Lightweight construction at only 76g
  • Low profile 9.6mm stack height for a clean look
  • Precise 45/45 degree bearing angle

Cons

  • Requires specific 46/56mm head tube dimensions
  • Not compatible with straight 1 1/8 inch head tubes
  • Installation requires specialized headset press tools

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the Deda IN-5 requires the frame to have integrated head tube seats. Before installing, ensure the head tube is clean and free of debris. Use a professional-grade bearing grease to seat the bearings into the frame to prevent corrosion and ensure long-term smooth operation.

Care instructions involve regular inspections of the bearing movement. If steering feels "notchy" or exhibits resistance, check for debris buildup and re-grease. Keep the headset clean after rides, especially in muddy or wet conditions, to protect the chrome steel internals from moisture-related oxidation.
