How to (properly) install headset bearings on stelth bomber/enduro ebike and get rid of stem wobble!

[@ENDOPRYSMofficial]

- 3:30 were install instructions begins

[@Zackattack94]

The link for bearings goes into my personal amazon cart

[@HostileHST]

Those pieces you cut, no no no, most likely will cause premature bearing failure. I would suggest to others to use a dremel with a sanding disc drum, or if that is not available to sand the inner race with sand paper till they fit snuggly. I only say this assuming those are the races that directly couple to the bearings. If not I appologize for missing something. No matter, very informative video and excellent method of showing how to use an alternative bearing set even if it wasn't meant for that exact frame which I believe someone mentioned that already.

[@rasmus1600]

They are the races for the bearings. I'm kinda surprised that it didn't shatter by being cut, since they tend to be hardend. I'd rather find a pipe that fits the races and press/hammer it down, since it's supposed to be a press-fit tolerence.

[@chillyeagle8766]

Had this exact problem on my new bike wasn't sure what to replace it with thanks for the vid man! gonna give that headset a shot!

[@ENDOPRYSMofficial]

With some of these bearing cups the inner diameter is too small for this to fit so you might have to sand it out with something like a dremel. I did not know that when I made this video.

[@chillyeagle8766]

Yup they did not work for me at all unfortunately they are to small they just jiggle around in the head tube instead going in snug like yours did

[@chillyeagle8766]

Or yea actually it's exactly like you said inner diameter on frame to small won't let it go all the way in rip

[@chillyeagle8766]

Also silver ring you has to cut to install is to big it sits loose at the bottom

[@rintuut]

Thats exactly the video i need thx so much everytime i titen it up it hold 10 min and after that izs a bit wobly again

[@ENDOPRYSMofficial]

That was my same problem.

[@budweiserburton]

Excellent video I had the same problem with mine and your video fixed the problem. That wobble bugged the shit out of me, But now it’s a solid fit. Thanks man. Two thumbs up👊😎👍

[@pat_0248]

These steering column bearings seem good and solid to me. Ils me paraissent bien et solides ces roulements de colonne de direction.

[@DanielOsorio-h1i]

I see that many who bought the bearings didn't work for them anymore. I'm not sure buying without the correct measurements and I also have the same frame

[@kanogomez5063]

Hey .great video ..i had the same problem,i bought the same tapered kit u got but i cant get it to fit on my Stealth it wont get tide enough....did u changed the inside cups..?

[@johnsherry6021]

That star nut needs to be set deeper in you tube. Get a socket and smack it down a bit. That’s what smashes everything together to keep things from vibrating. Loosen the crown and headset bolts before tightening the cap

[@mountainlion4853]

Hi endo, I see you retained the original bearing cups and placed the newer ones over them. This is fine as your newer ones are narrower. But for future reference what you will need is a 44mm top and bottom bearing cup set as the headtube is not tapered but straight.

[@ENDOPRYSMofficial]

Ok thanks.

[@riverroad5169]

Mt Lion, do u know if its possible to upgrade these bicycle grade headset "components" for, perhaps, the new Sur-ron heavy duty roller bearing headset? Or if that's not the correct size maybe just source everything from McMaster-Carr or elsewhere? I'm assembling a NB Power enduro atm, and think the bicycle grade headset is definitely a weak link, i need to upgrade now.

[@ormviana]

I tried to follow this tutorial, but my "FSA Orbit MX 1-1/8Inches Threadless MTB Road Headset with Top Cap, Black, NO.20, XTE1504" (amazon) doesn't fit the bearing cups that came with the frame (same frame as ENDOPRYSM). Do you think I need to buy "FSA Orbit Z 1-1/8Inches 44mm Threadless 1-1/8Inches Headset with Top Cap, NO.9M/CUP/CC , XTE1528" (amazon) like you said in your previous post (44mm top and bottom bearing cup)

[@neskhalifafbb]

Wow guys sick information

[@allthingsdope]

I bought my enduro and my headset ring was stuck on my kke fork. I'm going to need to cutit off replace with a better headset. Where did you buy them from

[@rasheenjohnsonjr8142]

Hello I want to know what size headset I need for my stealth bomber e-bike I got some one you got

[@player1unknown9]

what size are the headset bearings? Never mind you have same ones I was looking at.

[@kanogomez5063]

Yo sup...I know I'm 2 years late..😂...but I just bought the same bike but with the Dnm forks....my ? Is if I can used the same set for my forks..??

[@voodoochild6741]

I know this video is old however I noticed your seat looks raised. I have a Bomber Enduro clone and I wanted to ask how you did it? You have great content and I value your experience

Thanks my man!

[@dwazhar3494]

Nice video two questions tho, can we put pedal assist on this bike and two my fat tire ebike was stolen do you know where I can get donated bike parts from? Thanks..

[@النوتفوقالجميع]

Can I put a 26×4.0 tire on this frame? Thanks

[@Kpisrpm1]

Just got my 5000w in yesterday. Really fast and it seems solid. Brakes are decent but could be better but overall Wow!

[@THouse-md1hy]

Hey thank you so much for this video I have the same ebike but mine is a fat tire ebike but my front shock that I have is DNM shock will this still work please respond because I just ordered it

[@ENDOPRYSMofficial]

Yeah it should work all front shock steerer tubes are the same. You might have to hollow out the inside of your bearing cups for these to fit properly depending on which ones you get. I used a dremel.

[@chillyeagle8766]

@@ENDOPRYSMofficial hey when u say inner bearing cups, did you take the Dremel to the bike or the headset

[@ENDOPRYSMofficial]

The headset.

Do you make batteries? Im in California

[@ethansmith5307]

How did you save up all the money for the Ebike

[@youbickbiking3084]

i would recommend buying a downhill mountain bike headset, it would have stronger bearings, less risk of play, etc, and this is coming from a downhill racer and trained mechanic

[@ENDOPRYSMofficial]

I think these are. I left a link to them in the description. The old ones were verry flimsy.

[@youbickbiking3084]

@@ENDOPRYSMofficial link doesnt work, its going to your personal order which no one can access without your account, and also that doesnt appear to be a downhill headset, it appears to be enduro, the difference is enduro is slightly weaker than a downhill grade one, but when it comes to a electric enduro/dirtbike a downhill headset is a lot better and will last a lot longer

@@ENDOPRYSMofficial that is a road headset, it would be pretty weak, and would also kinda explain the movement, i would recommend a Cane Creek 40 ZS44/28.6 EC44/40 Headset, it will be more durable and last a hell of a lot longer

[@angelozoulali3631]

can you leave a link for the charger? and how many hours does it take to fully charge?

[@ENDOPRYSMofficial]

Charger came with my battery

[@pat_0248]

It's good not to have to remove the original bearing supports because it's not easy to put in the column...

[@Psyrecx]

You might have to grind the opening on the cups to do this, however... They don't just easily fit in. There's about a millimeter of overhang that prevents you from doing this on nero headsets for this frame.

[@robertkincaid855]

Where did you purchase the seat for the bike from

[@ebperformance8436]

My forks were a lot harder to install….I ended up using a very light fork….but it only had the main bar…I’m not planning on doing a lot of off road running…but it will be Capital if I have to…Im also using 27.5 inch rims….so I needed a shorter front fork. My next issue is I ordered Hydraulic brake calipers…I don’t know if I should keep them or order the brake levers for them. I heard the hydraulic brakes are a lot better….The damn thing is heavy’ so maybe I should keep them’ I’m almost out of budget….I’m lucky I have a 3 pc crank shaft and Derailer….I’m only gonna do the 7speed…because I don’t think you can fit a front derailer on these frames….I wanna keep it a pedal assist. I hade to take the bearing apart, sand down the cup, and use a rubber mallet to get it in….I had to do something cheesy and lube the spacers you get for a gooseneck and make them into bushings….to stabilize the fork, so far so good. I belt sanded the bearing cups, and polished and lubed the homemade fork stabilizers. Turns extremely well, and no play or wobble.

[@mad151maxx4]

I just order a stealth bomber cone 12000w, don't want a DEATH wobble. I tried clicking on that but wouldn't let me save to my cart. So need again please

[@tritzzy]

Bought this exact part, followed video 1:1 on instructions. Too piece will never fit in the hole flush, and still wobbles when I brake lol.

[@ebperformance8436]

My frame came with the cups not installed….however I received bearing cartridges and they were sealed, the first time I installed them ass backwards…and made it hard to steer, I had to take the forks off, and fix the issue. Unfortunately I stripped a bolt on the gooseneck….I’m going to either have to buy another one, or I’m gonna drill the head of the screw off, and use Pliers for the screw…or I’m gonna drill a hole and use a screw Extractor. I’m tired of having to order something and have to wait…I’m 5/7 and the 200mm shock made the bike sit too high, if your over 6foot 1…then your good, any shorter…. And your gonna have a hard time getting on and off, if you come to a stop, your gonna have to lean the bike. I ended up buying a 150mm shock, and returned the 200mm shock’ not to mention…I’m using 27.5 rims….my 150mm shock came in….it’s now suited for anyone under 6feet, I can higher the seat, 150mm shock makes the bike suitable for shorter ppl. It fits people 5foot 3 inches to 6 foot ppl’ with the seat adjusted higher’ if I put a stealth Bomber Seat on it, it will only fit people 5/3 to 5/8. Looks like a Tron motor cycle’ if you ever played the video game, or saw the movie’ You would know what I’m talking about.

I gonna buy the 44mm version and a Headset tool to press it 100% straight in and my 44mm zylinder you be perfekt fit on the inner hole of the frame

[@rintuut]

@@ENDOPRYSMofficial ah i know yet whats the thing you basicly you installed the original 2 "spacer" that where with the frame and they make from 44mm the 34mm thats why yours fit to but i would prefer to buy 44mm straight and out in then its even stabler becaus you dont have extra 2 parts + in it

[@ENDOPRYSMofficial]

@@rintuut you can do that. I think any bearings that look similar to these should work. It’s been to weeks and I have had absolutely 0 issues so far.

Anyone care to help with finding a headset? I have an unknown frame but it has that little cup diameter of 40.5mm and the tube inside is 31.5mm I have the same fork at 28.6mm so I need to get shims or adapters. I can't for the life of me find a headset with that size.

[@corbinandersen809]

I have the same frame and bought the headset bearings from the link and they don't fit inside the cups in the frame but thr fork still wobbles

[@ENDOPRYSMofficial]

Ok that’s not good. Your frame probably came with different cups than mine. You could probably just widen the hole with a Dremel or some sort of sander. I did that on my most recent bike.

[@corbinandersen809]

@@ENDOPRYSMofficial I ended up ordering a 44mm front and bottom set that another commentor suggested hopefully it works the bearings are permanently set in the cups of the fork on the frame I got, I'm honestly not sure if the wobble is from a different problem because the inner diameter of the new headset bearing seemed very similar to the one that came with the frame, sorry for the extra hassle and long messages loll
