Great video, very good explanation. I am a bike mechanic and tour guide in a 5 star hotel in southern Greece, a couple of days before I had to service my full suspension mtb and I decided that tapered headset is the go for me and I was looking for a video explaining some things so is sure about my thinking. Bravo guys

There is a tool to remove that crown race properly but is freaking expensive for the need nowadays. I usually keep a little tin on the side with old Stanley knives blades or old razer blades and you can fit one on in between the crown and where it sits, with little knocks going around. At least in setups that are more precious aesthetics.

Wish where I live would have a shop like you guys. Our shops are dull, very limited inventory,sales people look at you like you're bothering them trying to buy something and they are completely clueless about bikes and parts. Feels like you're in Walmart. 🤣

Thanks alot I was so confused 11/8" integrated or semi integrated is very important in bearing to head on frame.

@aquilonianace4791 Год назад

Sealed isn't better for headsets because the presure is on the sides of the bearings. Sealed bearing are not designed to take pressure sideways, only up or down on its race. Wheels and bottom brackets where the bearings are vertical are good spots for sealed bearings. And those weren't loose ball bearings, they were caged bearings. I once bought a bike that turned fine, felt sturdy and it didn't have any bearings. It had two cone washers like the ones he hit. The previous owner lost the bearings and didn't put them back. That's where I learned that headsets don't need good bearings they just need lubrication. So I guess anything will do 🤷‍♂️

@longdang2681 10 месяцев назад

I was also thinking this. Sealed bearings are radial only as the inner race is parallel to the outer race race forming perfect concentric rings. Caged bearings have 3D pressure support because the inner race is both under neath and to the side of the caged bearings(similarly the outer race is both above and to the side of the caged bearing). Headset bearings need to support both swivel(radial) pressure and the pressure from the compression bolt(vertical pressure when in use). Therefore theoretically the older caged bearings should be more suitable for use in headsets. I think that's why they have the 45/45 (degrees) specification for headset bearings.

@Cobra_Scythe Год назад

How high should ur bars reach while u stand on the ground d next to your bike? Mine reaches a little past my belly button and I have bars with a 9inch rise and a gyro but im also 5’4💀

@marktomada2135 2 месяца назад

Hi Sir, Any recommendation for my headset it wont close totally, bearings are still visible but the spin of the bars is smooth. Thank you for your response soon.appreciate it. Mark Tomada From PH

@pauljames4510 Год назад

10:02 If you don’t want to put the headset spacer on top of the stem and make it look flush and clean you could cut down the fork steerer 5mm instead 👍🚲💨

@x88868 Год назад

Or, you can get a taller dust cap.

@hectorescamilla5212 Год назад

Sick ass Phu always showing us wassup 🤙

@tatangsm09 4 месяца назад

It is smoother way and more stable of steering handle bar to put the ring spacer on top of the headset.

@lulbeamr Год назад

my original top cap from a CK complete broke after about 2 years of riding, replaced it w an S&M one and it fits fine but the bars will often come out of line with the front wheel. seems to never really get tight enough compression. any help on this?

@adhaetjamn Год назад

I'm an amateur but I'll take a crack at your question. You should not rely on the top cap to keep your bars aligned with the fork. The top cap keeps the bearings in full contact with the frame and fork. So, make sure the bolts that clamp the stem to the fork are tight. These are what keeps the front end lined up!

@unfortunatefind6923 Год назад

I think my gt came with a semi sealed integrated headset because the bearing didnt have seals and you could take apart the bearing

Something does not look right where the fork goes up into the bottom of the frame Looks like it’s got a gap that should not be there?
