The Wolf Tooth Premium Headset lower is an external cup assembly for frames built to the EC34 standard. It sits below the head tube and carries the fork steerer on a sealed cartridge bearing. The Premium version runs an Enduro stainless steel bearing, which Wolf Tooth backs with a lifetime bearing warranty.
Machining is from 6061 aluminium, with a custom moulded dual-lip seal on the crown race to keep water and grit away from the bearing. Uppers and lowers are sold separately, so this cup pairs with a matching Wolf Tooth upper. A crown race installation adapter, sold separately, helps avoid damaging the seal during fitting. Note that it does not suit Surly 1-1/8 inch straight steerer forks.
