Hakuro Mihosa What?! Show me a bike that Empire has sold in the past five years that has a pressed headset. They ALL use pressed headsets anymore. They're ALL campy style. Have been for at least the past five years...😘
Bam Margera Nooooot really, dude. Most everybody does it that way because nobody buys a cup press only to use it once every several years. But. Somehow. Everybody involved in the vid forgot about the cup press that's hanging on the wall...
NoCoBandit I saw that press on the wall, but I’m not sure if it fits through the bearings. However, I’m sure there’s a vice or something. Also, I didn’t see him put the spacer in?
Eagle Media Yeahhhh...this is shot at Empire BMX and that's definitely a Park Tools bearing press that definitely fits all 19/22/24mm bottom brackets. And you never fucking use a vice on bearings unless you have very large, soft jaws for it that'll spread the force evenly(and not leaving knurling imprints)
I know this video is old but we all have that one friend who rides but don’t know how to fix sh*t on there bikes. I’m the friend that is always fixing everyone’s bike because they don’t know how to do it like new bearings fix the loose headset because they don’t have a compression cap or fix there loose ass chain because I alway carry tools when we go ride lol .
I think you two are a good comedic duo. And Kareem please practice more learning what everything does for a bike because as a rider you have to take that aspect really serious , but thank you for not wimping out on fully putting the beautiful bike together I love you two , please take care and have fun filming and riding ... thank you Tom Dugan . God bless you 2 and BMXers everywhere... and all people, toodles. 9:36 very important
Love your energy always! Bike looks pretty good. That stem looks terrible on that bike. Take a new one off the shelf and send that thing to me. Have Dugan do it fo you. Gangsta shit!
Fuck dat a rubber mallet is boss!. When your not Kareem you can install ya bearings with just a couple wacks not three hundred twists then three hundred more to undo the dam tool!. .. if you ain't got a mallet a baseball bat will do just fine!.
Haha, I literally just did a bike build yesterday with the same frame. I new I should have used a rubber mallet instead of a bearing press. lol Btw it is the best frame ever
Bro Michael is the shit!!!!! He’s so great every time I need advise on parts for my bike and such a down to earth guy if you ain’t shopping at empire bmx your fucking up!!!
