A video walk through on how to upgrade and replace a semi integrated headset. This video belongs to We Love Mountains, Hawthorn Avenue, Hull, HU3 5GL, 01482 606520 , www.welovemount..., info@welovemountains.com
Narration [verbal or captions] would have helped, but it was a great help to SEE what replacing a semi-integrated headset looks like. Particularly as I was trying to isolate the differences between integrated headsets, and [press fit] semi=integrated. I was able to find articles describing it, but seeing the actual head tube & headset provided the visual info to identify mine as a [press fit] semi-integrated.
Good video, it's hard to film and work at the same time, I learned something from this video, so for all those who are being negative, I hope you enjoy paying your LBS todo all your repairs. Thanks for the Vid.
Uh, correct me if im wrong but did you just put a dent in the fork with the flat head screw driver at 3:51??? Isnt there a Park tool that get that race off rather than pounding and prying it out with a flat head screw driver!??
As a motorcyclist who's getting back into bicycles, some of these videos are hilarious.. This guy with his screwdriver and hanging the bars and caliper by the cables, people using adjustable wrenches instead of the correct size sockets, torquing assorted bolts until they 'feel about right'... Ooof Surely if you're going to make a tutorial, you should at least have the correct tools
I bought a new headset and the compression ring won't fit propley and there is play in the steering, do u think I need to buy a different compression ring rather than a new headset? Cheers bro
Bro I got a question I better ask , ok as far as a 1957 Schwinn my headset has me stumped because my bottom bearings fit upside down better then right side up in the cup ,is there a problem with that? ,?
less music more instruction would be good. for the inexperienced PS the headset removal tool you put the solid end in first through the headset, pull it through the race and it clicks in to place, much easier then trying to compress the sections by hand.
The best way to maintain and service your bike tho is by being on good friendly terms with your LBS, buy as many parts and components as you can from them, if they dont stock what you want ask them if they can get it, they usually can. You'll become a valued customer so then when you're stuck, like you need a crown race remover or any other specialised tool, just take the part or your bike down the shop and they'll remove it for you or let you use the tool. My LBS is 100metres from my home, ace.
Hi there, Im looking for some guidance Im planing to create my first custom made frame And Im planning to use Zero Stack Headset in a 44mm Inner Diameter Headtube My question is if the inside of the Headtube had to be treated with some angles, or just have to put the cups with pressure Thanks I know its not exactly the topic of the video, any help is very welcome
That's what I did, now I work there! Going there most days with a different problem for a different bike made me a familiar face, half jokingly I said that I might as well work there and they said yeah, talk to the boss, he was looking for a new pair of hands.
the stem cap offers no structural strength, it may mean you're bearings are not compressed, but otherwise it is fine, a stem cap will not stop your forks from falling off any day of the week.
cups compression ring and open cage bearings taken out head press not park tool few compression putting there hard to come by not sell chain reaction site
