Replacing Sur-Ron Steering Bearing at Home

[@insanetharapy6948]

This was cut very well. No waiting 30 seconds for him to do the next. Very nice 👍

[@_peacexplorer_]

Thank you. Also, a "wheels-bearings replacing" video will be in next month. With the same cut style 🙃

[@Kixiru]

Thank you your the only person who actually showed how to remove the brushing I needed to remove them for powder coating

[@klubhead7070]

This was the best tutorial

[@crax999]

actually best guide i found, well done thanks! Wondering why the upper bearing does not have the correct inner diameter since you had to use tape?

[@_peacexplorer_]

They have make both bearings with same size. But fork, it's axis have a kind of trapezoidal shape. So this is where appearing a different diameters of axis. 8:17 Maybe it is hard to see on the video, but here it is, this trapezoidal transition.

[@crax999]

@@_peacexplorer_ ah i see what you mean. Thats strange tho i ordered a headset kit and it came with 2 different size bearing so i did not use tape to make it fit today when i installed it. Maybe different manufacturers

[@_peacexplorer_]

@@crax999 different size bearings? Wow, that's cool.

[@djdubz]

thanks for the video. very helpful! good job

[@spaceinyourplace9242]

Very good video. Thank you. What did you use for lubricate bearings?

[@_peacexplorer_]

This is some kind of good grease for boats. Professional bike-mechanic recommended it to me. Motul IRIX Nautic Grease.

[@wannesh9491]

hello, very useful video! how long have your bearings lasted now? are they good quality from aliE…?

[@_peacexplorer_]

Already a year. No problems so far. Steering bearings looks like the most massive and durable bearings in whole bike. As for the aliE - there was kind of original bearings, i assume. Price was more or less compatible with ebay or lunacycle.

Приветствую, спасибо за подробную инструкцию. Недавно перебирал этот стакан, достал кучу глины, смазал подшипники. Надеялся убрать небольшой люфт, так как при езде имеется посторонний звук. Затягивал болт вверху рулевого штока, люфт пропадал, но сильно тугой руль стал. Может Вы знаете, могли ли кольца со временем распрессоваться? Или может быть причина в другом. У кого не спроси, у всех на сурроне имеется этот треск из рулевой колонки

[@_peacexplorer_]

Что касается колец - они там сидят очень плотно. Распрессовка крайне маловероятна. Возможно треск из-за того, что верхняя часть трубы вилки неплотно сидит на колечке. У меня в видео это упоминается. Я сначала решил вопрос изолентой, а потом вместо неё намотал кусок от алюминиевой банки.

Just wondering where you got the new bearings and bushings from looking for a place to buy some

[@_peacexplorer_]

Aliexpress, in my case.

Hi!!! Im very intrested on yout feedback about Marzocchi Bomber 58, can you tell me if that fork was worth buying? 1kg less weight gave u more range? Also it absorbs well all those small/big stones on your trail ride? Thank you so much!

[@_peacexplorer_]

Good morning. Well, it's complex question. Does it fork working better on bumps - yes. Does it fork more expensive - yes. For me - it really better, because it "upside-down", compare to the stock DNM Volcano. So mud-wing is much easier to fixate. 1kg less weight - it mass of my eat. I can go ride before eating. So i will be weight 1 kg less. And also i can go ride after eating. So i will be weight 1 kg more. Does i feel the difference? Not really. But as i said in the beginning - it defenetly better absorbing small bumps than Volcano. I feel bad for it, when i bumps to the big stones. What if it will broke? So expensive. So i'm trying to avoid it.

[@gravit0nable]

@@_peacexplorer_ Buying an expensive fork so it can fit a mudguard better? That's exactly why I bought the Bomber 58 too last week :) And ofc I hope it is better in absorbing the small bumps. My Volcano always had a lot of friction. I think it needs a revision/lubrication although it was a new fork. Thanks for the guide. The tape is needed because the tube diameter of the Bomber 58 is smaller than the Volcano? I hope the tape doesn't wear quick and introduces a play.

[@_peacexplorer_]

@@gravit0nable Yep, mudguard is definitely the must-have thing. Some people says than new Bomber 58 needs a revision. And some people says that it's 100% ready for ride. Who is right - i donno. Not sure about Volcano tube diameter, i'm not measured it. But we can clearly see that Bomber 58 tube diameter is fatter at the bottom, and thinner at the top. I have another idea - we can buy some soda in aluminium can, and cut a aluminium-band from it. And replace tape to aluminium. It will be more reliable. I think.

[@TheStoicGarageMan]

It can’t get the bearing of the fork it’s completely stuck and help?

[@_peacexplorer_]

it can take a while. I spends an hour to get it off.

[@insanetharapy6948]

There is a spot on each side to pry with a screwdriver

[@RPMTEAM-TAK]

What is the bearing size

[@_peacexplorer_]

I donno. There was no dimensions on the seller page.

[@ryanbrown6708]

What size abs tube

[@_peacexplorer_]

Outer diameter 50mm, inner diameter 35mm.

Correction it’s a 36mm (American)

🤔

[@insanetharapy6948]

@@_peacexplorer_I guess you used the rag to increase the diameter a little more? I’m doing it right now with the 36 with no rag underneath it

[@_peacexplorer_]

@@insanetharapy6948 aw, yep. That was a duct-tape. I didn't do the precise measurements. By eye - there was a ≈2mm gap. Later i changed duct-tape to aluminum cut from coca-cola bottle. Pepsi also will be fine for that.

[@sovetyoutuber]

Эти подшипники вообще не нужно менять у них нет никакой нагрузки 100% Нужно заменить кольцо на более широкое и всё чтоб не было зазора с завода кольцо плохое согласен Но делать колхоз на изоленту это жесть 🤦‍♂️ Найди токаря отдай образец сделают нормально

[@_peacexplorer_]

Они могут запросто сгнить, если будут сильно мокнуть, а потом ещё керхером байк мыть. А по поводу токарей - спрашивал у них, никто не умеет. На словах все умные, а как доходит до дела - так ничто ни на что не способен.

Bought a Sur-ron brand new. Rode it about 2 times and the triple tree clamp had issues where it got lose and the steering was everywhere. Disassembled it and found out my Sur-ron has NO FUCXXING BEARINGS!!!!!!!!!! 😡

😮 wow man, if your sur-ron releases from factory in this condition with no bearings - that's really not good.
