Service The Bike Headset On A Threaded Steerer

[@stevespanos75]

This is the best example that I have seen on removing and reinstalling the front fork assembly. Absolutely on point. Great video - you are a great bike mechanic. Exactly what I needed to see.

[@panchoskywalker]

finally a normal bike, not a super sophisticated bike like in other videos. Thank you.

[@Vardaris]

The other videos on this issue and type of bike do not show how to do it comprehensively enough this one is perfect

[@Merlin_Price]

Hey mate. Ozzy bike laymen here. This video saved me a lot of trouble and a bill i didn't need. More than that the clarity with which you explain and detail bike maintenance has made me appreciate bikes even more(and i was already a big fan). Subscribed. And thank you.

[@MadeGoodFilms]

Great, that's nice to hear!

[@MQuadrucci]

excellently presented

[@mwj5368]

Very nice video thanks! What if the I think it's called cone mounted on the fork at the very bottom, what if that's pitted, then how do you replace that? Is that somehow pressed on or does it slide off? I only commute by bike so is there a trick of the trade to quick look to see if the cone or race is pitted or not top and bottom... probably wishful thinking and requires one to take it apart, look, reassemble it, go to the bike shop for parts, then return home to repair, right?

@5:34 the moment when he thought about using his teeth for a second and realized it wouldn't quite make the final cut...

[@HermesTrismegistes369]

Damn I’m on TV! 😂

[@sgit1]

Fine tutorial - thank you. In your experience, do the top washers serve any functional purpose? Have you seen bikes without them?

[@virkelie2]

This is a great channel!

[@vyompatel3368]

Sir what was the number of hand tool?

[@jairodossantos2070]

Thank you so much, my friend, optimal tube, my name jairo

Steel balls size ? Please reply! 🙂

[@pdbike43]

You can measure the size of the existing ball bearings for replacement with "Park Tool SBC-1 Bicycle Spoke, Bearing, and Cotter Gauge" 10 dollars on Amazon. It's very cool / simple...it has holes of different sizes into which you pass the ball bearing.

[@whisk3rs777]

Did the transporter just teach me how to service a headset?!

[@БериллийБериллий]

Hello, when you dismantled this steering gear, on 2.03 minute you take out a black flat ring, being over off the ball-bearings. And on the 7.28 minute you did not put back this ring, why?

[@ofthelord1020]

Because he's an idiot.

[@MrRabi001]

Sir what is the size of the loose ball bearing ?

[@MadeGoodFilms]

I dont know! I don't thing there's a standard size, you're best taking them to a shop for a matching replacement.

Whats the grease

[@MadeGoodFilms]

Not exactly sure which one we used, but any bearing grease will do. If in doubt, just ask your bike shop for some bicycle grease.

[@projectcerebus]

is it okay not to put a rubber seal?

[@dan_lazaro]

yes but it will be more prone to needing service because water will go in easier

[@MadeGoodFilms]

Sometimes the, especially on older headsets, seals are not part of the construction. They usually function okay.

[@V8_screw_electric_cars]

@@MadeGoodFilms i have bought tange vantage headset brand new but it had terrible seal all grease flows out and it's already ruined, bad design.

[@ACOG7ORGUK]

What is the maximum wear (movement)in the steering bearings that should be allowed before changing them?

[@shaikhaasef414]

Naise

[@danielhandika8767]

He's not putting back the rubber seal, and the bearing at the end of the video is different from the start

at 4:38 you take one of balls from bottom bearing , why

[@MadeGoodFilms]

Please have another listen from 3:38 - it allows the balls space to roll.

[@subasingh4024]

Old cycle handle service in hindi speake

[@bartsimpsonhead]

Informative, but by God does it drag on - do we have to see nearly every ball bearing going in individually? Or exactly how long it takes the leather strap to be done up? (top-tip: a velcro strap would be quicker!) You could've edited this down by 2-3 minutes if you'd cut out all the unnecessary faff.
