In this video I’m going to explain how to overhaul a vintage mountain bike headset and its bearings.
I was lucky enough to be able to buy a Koga Miyata Skyrunner Carbolite. But, as is often the case with bikes which are 3 decades old, the bike is in need of some love.
The bike is from 1991 and comes with a for the time top-of-the-line Shimano Deore XT groupset, including the headset we’re going to look into.
The previous owner said the headset had issues. When I came to pick up the bike he told me a bearing had split, and his father had removed it.
I had never heard of something as a split bearing. And as it turned out this wasn’t the case. So I’m not going to repair a caged bearing. But I am going to give you a couple of pointers when overhauling a vintage mountain bike headset yourself.
I've also written a blog post with more information. If you want to read this article go to www.restoratio...
