Cane Creek components now available through 13Industries
13Industries is excited to announce the addition of Cane Creek components to their brand portfolio, effective immediately. Here’s the lowdown:
Cane Creek Cycling Components is widely known as the pioneer of threadless headsets. The invention and launch of the Aheadset in 1992 single-handedly moved bicycle design from threaded steerer tubes with quill stems, to the modern threadless steer tubes and clamp-on stems we see on all bikes today. This innovation made for far easier and more reliable adjustments to the headset.
Fast forward to 2023 and Cane Creek is still bringing innovation to the headset market. Their broad product portfolio now includes market-leading suspension products, bottom brackets, cranks, seat posts, stems and accessories. As an employee-owned company based out of North Carolina, Cane Creek sets the highest standards when bringing a product to market, operating by the guidelines they will only pursue a concept or innovation if they believe it will enhance the ride experience.
