How To Disassemble And Grease A Bicycle Headset Bearing. Cannondale HeadShok Fatty. 

Good video for the beginners. Also you can remove rust with some acid like a citric or vinegar. And you had miss to tell that this is a angular bearing. The great thing about this type of bearings that you just clean and relube it because you can remove play by tightening top cap, then when ball will make new races you will need to remove bearings play again and you will get bearing that you can you again, till you will destroy cage or inner or outer rings

Rusty bearings need to be replaced. It's cheap, at least much cheaper then I value my free time. So why do the job twice (next year it needs new bearings)?!

THE RIGHT SERVICE IS TO CHANGE THE RUSTED BEARING

Thanks for your video. Just a question (because it's not shown in the video)...how to remove the bearings? My "broken" one is the upper one..but if you explain also how to remove the lower, i will be glad. I tried to push from the bottom with a screwdriver with no success...

I remember the old days when suspension forks barely existed, you'd get an "indexed" headset where you'd hit the rigid forks so hard that the bearings would pit/ impress on the races under the pressure, resulting in a notched "indexed" steering, oh the old days...

Ive pulled my headset out of my 4 bikes and they were all rusted, one bike was 2 weeks old and I only washed once then thought it would be good prevention to grease but it was already too late because it was installed dry. So my tip would be, buy a bike brand new just make sure the headset is greased on the outside to keep the water out, preferably a thick grease

What liquid do you use to clean the BB?

If you just want to repack them, then there is no need to take them apart, jsut take seals off, smear some grease on the palm of your hand and press the bearing into the palm pressing grease in, rotate it continue to do this until its all covered, wipe off the old grease, or any dirt that comes out, and repeat with pressing grease, and wipe off, put seals back on.

What about the video on overhauling a fatty fork?

I used to find every small part back sweeping a few small magnets on a string across the floor. Many other small things stick to the magnet.

Hi, I enjoy your videos!!!... I have a older late 90's Cannondale, and it has a DaiComp headset with ONLY a allan key amd the "neck" is integrated into the stem. So it only allows for the handlebar to be replaced and I am confused on how I can raise this for a better fit. I unscrewed the allen bolt but I did not remove it. I felt no difference and it must be still stuck, but I remember this headset being unique to Cannondale, so I just put it back so I dont miss a ride day. But my goal is to raise it. Do you know how this is done for this headset?

Just buy new bearings, way less hassle than all this messing about

Just got a Super V 700 for $300 Canadian, Bontrager wheels and Race Face crankset for $200 together, $70 hydraulic brakes, it will be a lovely ~$500 bike until I put on the Fox triple crown ;)

when the bearings are already brown, its already lost the meaningful efficiency. Just replace it.

How to build a cheap n good MTB?

"How To Disassemble " ... aaand actualy no disassembling (taking inner and outer bearing rings apart) in the video.. ) Nice. ))

Исто ко нас Балканци. Greetings from Balkan, we do the same stuff.

Hey. In my opinion its just fine to leave the rust. Once the grease is in there, there is very little chance of the rust continuing. Its different with paint, if you paint over rusted steel it will continue to rust generally and you have to sand back to bare metal, but with grease and oil the chemical reaction must be very strong and does not rust at all.

You don't show how to disassemble the bearing. Shame on you

Good way to save money

0:54 correct term would be the sealngs are worn or damaged, sealings means the thing you have over your head in the house or apartment, which a sealing lamp is on.
