[@valesz4140]

Hi i just dropped by to say thanks..i serviced my headtube yesterday and unknowingly installed the ball bearing upside down while re-assembling everything.. And it causede me alot of stubborn ness in the bars..they wouldn't spin..i tried alot of playing around eith the stem pinchbolt to get the best but couldn't last night i trembled upon this video and ssw the part where you told bearings are to be installed in that way....just installed the bearings the correct way bars spin super smooth now.... very much thanks..god bless you and your family

Thanx a lot! I made this video cuz I had a really hard time to find the answer myself when I was doing this some years ago. I took off the fork and the headset, and obviously didn't pay attention to how they were installed. After much searching I found a video of this young boy explaining on how to do it, but the clip was really hard to find. Hopefully my video is easy to find and with all the views I'm getting I guess a lot of ppl run into the same problem :-).

Man thanks for this video. I've searched all of the big channels and none of them have the basics on video

[@albertoguaruska7932]

Thanx bruh. I made this vid cuz I was having a hard time finding the info too. I think I used lithium grease in the vid - don't use this. Use maritime grease or similar. Keeps salt and nasty stuff out better.

Nice. I need to clean my bearings...But didnt knew how to release the fork from the frame after removing the handlebar. Now I know I just need to knock some few times. Thank you.

Vassego :-)

Thanks for addressing the important direction of the bearing that seems to be difficult info. to find. I was also installing a Suntour headset and was having trouble with mine and had to get a little help from a shop. Turns out the bottom bearing the exposed balls face up, and in the top bearing the balls are also face up. He said it is not universal but that will be the case much of the time.

[@albertoguaruska7932]

Thanx for sharing the info. That's good to know if it doesn't work out the way shown in the video - then just try your alternative.

I didn’t know what I was doing, and my forks fell apart when I was taking them apart, and I don’t know which order the bearings and things are in

[@albertoguaruska7932]

[@joshuaeccles7111]

You helped me out so much thanks

[@educatedbhaiya5394]

what is the size of ring ball?

[@albertoguaruska7932]

Sorry for late reply. I was trying to figure it out but 1) I can't remember, and 2) I don't have the bikes/forks anymore to measure for you. Sorry I couldn't help.

[@royonarsi6953]

can i convert caged bearing to sealed bearing?.

[@albertoguaruska7932]

I think you would need an appropriate headset for sealed bearings.

[@nzo_6543]

You can if you know the size and what type is your headset

[@siah9703]

What parts go on the forks in order

[@albertoguaruska7932]

Hi. Sorry for late reply. I actually made a video on how to install parts and that's why the late reply. Here's the vid: kzbin.info/www/bejne/roTLd3eJbq-tjc0

Bro if my bmx headset is loose what happen to my frame and to my bike?

[@albertoguaruska7932]

Just tighten it. Loosen star-nut bolt a little, press front brake hard while pushing bike forward and tighten star-nut bolt at the same time. U might need another set of hands.

कितने रुपए के आते ह

[@myscreen2urs]

Why am I finding contradictory information about cage bearing information?

[@albertoguaruska7932]

I don't know. But I'm thinking it could be cuz ppl get the head-set parts mixed up. The exposed balls should go in the rounded part of the headset "washer".
