If I remember correctly the lower headset part you removed is a converter to use loose bearings, it should be left in there, the crown race on the fork is for a sealed bearing (not for loose balls to run on it, the ball bearings will wear the crown race on the fork). You can remove the black cups in the frame and fit sealed bearings (weird design but it's pretty good for serviceability)

Love your videos! Lesson learned about cleaning components. Was doing a restore on a vintage SunTour grouppo. Decided to get off the gunk by tossing them in a dishwasher with name brand dishwashing detergent. Took off the first layer of gunk but also the shine. Came out grey and dull. Spent more time polishing than the rest of the project.

Worked in a bike shop and do all my own servicing.Some seriously good work on show here. One little tip I have (for owners, more-so than bike mechanics )the back nut holding the front brake caliper into the fork quite often seizes, as stated in the video. I put a square of electrical tape over the hole in the back of the fork, after re-assembly and especially on a bike with no mud guards .that keeps a lot of road spray and corrosion out of that recess.Subscribed,thanks.

Rear derailleur takeup is the limiting factor; would prefer a wider range on back. Might switch to 1x9 for better parts interchangeability.

Thank you for doing vids of bikes from different eras and spec levels. Was this a 2011 Allez Triple? Would you characterize that headset as one of the (ultimately short-lived) proprietary ‘Specialized Mindset’ semi-integrated headsets? I have a 2009 Allez and just last month needed to replace such a headset. The shop mechanic that did the job (put in a Cane Creek 40-series w/ IS41 cartridge bearings) found it less straightforward than the Internet forums we consulted suggested. In the end it required a little bit of witchcraft, and the fit within the head tube bore has us curious how well/long it will hold adjustment. Small plug that IF you get a bike in that needs that type of replacement job, IMO, KZbin doesn’t have a clearly authoritative and well-shot video on the topic.

I think you’ve stuffed this one up bud. That crown race is the lower remains of the cartridge bearing no? The black races in the frame are the outside shell of the cartridge bearing. The bearing looks nothing like a standard loose ball bearing. The seals are all just gone. The crown race on the fork is alloy? and has no convex shape to run a bearing, it’s going to do some dangerous damage to that fork running a loose bearing on a sealed crown race.
