That is not a 2001 model giant...back then they sold bikes like the yukon and the alias.That is atleast a 2008

[@stevenmorgan2202]

Teflon Grease is fine, I wouldn't use copper slip on the frame it will attack the alloy frame and stainless components over time

[@jackhargreaves1911]

You did better than me at getting the cups out. I tried to do it without the proper tool and broke the flanges (and the cups are still stuck on!). Lesson learned…

[@robertcain178]

He didn't show how he got the bearings, that's the hard bit He Just filmed the easy bits

[@oOoACFREEMANoOo]

I added copper grease between stem and fork...

[@benjleath9406]

Good video- enjoyed watching thanks

[@hartleyhare99]

Love the old school Giant bikes. Great paintjob, logos etc

[@benjleath9406]

I think it is called an “ integrated “ headset I had a Giant with a headset like this

[@Adam-vm8kp]

This is semi integrated. Integrated has no removable cups so the bearings sit in the frame.

Sickbiker!!!!

[@boy_gaming9812]

What are these parts called...? The things that you cleaned and installed..?

[@luisalfredoflores2556]

Que típo de tasas son las que le pusistes

[@peas4snaks]

Did you glue the cups into place? What's the brown stuff?

[@knowmere5832]

that I believe is an antisieze grease

[@NickelCityPixels]

@@knowmere5832 Don't you want that piece to seize though?

[@knowmere5832]

​@@NickelCityPixelsyou don't want anything on your bicycle to seize, believe me.

[@Adam-vm8kp]

Copper slip anti seize for when you have 2 metals in contact that don’t move, this creates a barrier to stop corrosion.

[@robertcain178]

It's copper slip, it stops the bearings getting stuck in there Shame he didn't film how he got the bearings out in the first place

[@syioti1307]

Why here not your main channel what happened

[@fr1oCZ]

What kind of headset is this? I think i have the same type. How does it work when there are no ball bearings?

[@TheDidiwolf34]

I'm curious to know as well

[@portland4660]

It does have ball bearings. I have a cane creek ahead set that has the same type of bearing. It's basically a cup and cone with a plastic lock ring acting as a dust seal.

[@joseph8208]

Is it a threadless one?

[@Adam-vm8kp]

There are ball bearings in a cage retainer in these. These are cheap headsets where the cups, bearings and covers are one unit, they can be taken apart and greased but not as good as a sealed cartridge bearing.

Just gotta watch it on mute
