[@athrowawayaccount9817]

6 year's later and you still just helped someone out i appreciate this alot

[@Goat.phomator666]

Please help me, I don't have a crown race

[@athrowawayaccount9817]

What do u mean

[@Goat.phomator666]

@@athrowawayaccount9817 I said i don't have a crown race in my headset. You get it?

[@markjmaxwell9819]

The FSA ORBIT MX headsets look to be a very good design with pretty good quality for a reasonable cost. A good upgrade if you have a ball bearing and cage headset...😃

[@mojorisen475]

Great video. I look forward to the fulfillment of the much awaited "Build Your Bike" series. Thanks again and best regards to sidekick Mia. I hope we see her in the upcoming lessons.

[@locohefe]

Just shoving them in there dry? I've always greased headset cups before setting them into the frame. I do believe this can remedy some creaking before it happens.

[@carboon_ink]

this video is 10 yo. get over it

[@jackbennett30]

great vid, really helpfull because i took my forks off and all the bearings, crown parts and all that fell out. and i had no idea how to put it back in 😂

[@guillermo4452]

Just happened to me now. And thats why im also here 😂

[@magnustajet6543]

THANK YOU :) I have been looking for video exactly like this !

[@TheDEADBEEFCAFE]

Smart thinking wearing those disposable gloves to keep your hands from getting filthy!

[@djmystery7235]

Man this video seems really cheery... like it has 2014 vibe.... oh damn. That’s some good quality for 2014.

[@johnalbertolozano]

is that a non tapered tube frame then convert to a tapered one?

[@PInk77W1]

So what do u so if u don’t have a Big fancy HS tool ? I live 55 miles from the nearest bike shop and I Have no car. Thx

[@李克诚加拿大]

2023 still here

[@guamistheplace]

Hi when you did this installation was your head set 1 1/8 ?

[@matthewsands3519]

Thanks so much for this series

[@bryankennedy4408]

Awesome video 👍

[@ericsantelli7259]

Just get it!

[@LGascco]

Grease?

[@7439norma]

how would you remove a top and bottom cup?

[@Thecrazyvaclav]

David Ishmael cup remover tool,it's like a split tube at the ends,you hit it with a hammer to pop the cups out

[@joen3992]

Would help if you listed the model headset you used to convert straight tube to tapered.

[@Assimilator702]

Joe N Many times you have to buy the upper and lower separate. You need to measure your head tube inner dimensions and find the upper and lower cups that will fit.

[@derekmason1653]

What size of cups headset is it

[@JimLindsey-yq2wy]

This is my first road kzbin.infoUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA and I have taken it out a handful of times and so far it is exceeding all of my expectations. I didn’t want to break the bank on a first bike and the herd is a great option for getting a fast bike with reliable components. I plan on riding this bike for many years to come. Thank you Sava!

[@John_D2]

cups should be greased.

[@manmaas]

Yes, grease the cups.

[@bitchbastardson]

I have a rocky mountain 2011 element 70 msl frame and a 2017 fox float grip tapered fork on the way. I,m looking for a headset that would fit on the frame since the head tube also have tapered corners. fsa or any good brand

[@KrankProduction]

No grease wtf?

[@susmaryoseptv7932]

What kind of headset you use sir?

[@smithmark]

Are you installing a tapered fork on a straight head tube?

[@GeorgeMilkasIgore]

It seems like that.. I need to do this modification too. Merida on 2014 had straight head tubes I bought a hardtail late 2014 model and then on 2015 they changed it (or I think so)... :/ So now with a new fork we have to add some more money to that conversion. Bike cost 600$ suspension (a good one and mod) will cost higher that the frame itself... Bike industries theese days :D But it's for safety reasons I'm doing that.. I can't go MTBing on Suntours anymore....

[@burgerzz09s51]

What headset is this?

[@ahmetkayakusu5696]

I have giant trance advanced 1 2017 model...which hope headset diameter shall i choose? Could you reply

[@yushirobetancourt4912]

can you tell me the size of the headset,i need 42mm lower head tube and upper to i can't find them

[@Jaketunnell]

Would this headset fit in a Giant yukon fx2 2009?

[@Vladi1295]

Probably a stupid question, but can I put my headset into the frame with a vise? Sorry if thats a dumb question, but I haven't install headsets before.

[@moonte7933]

no...just get some threaded bar and a couple big washers and 2 nuts...a lot safer and a lot less of a chance to scratch parts than the wise

[@saymyname218]

Vladi1295.....that is exactly what I do....but I have a woodworking large bench vise....I cannot think of an engineering vise that would be big enough ....I like the `threaded studding ` idea too...as mentioned above.

[@shockadellick]

@@moonte7933 what about reaming and facing...isn't it needed?

[@BL-it9vi]
