Good video, it's hard to film and work at the same time, I learned something from this video, so for all those who are being negative, I hope you enjoy paying your LBS todo all your repairs. Thanks for the Vid.

[@daviddauza]

Narration [verbal or captions] would have helped, but it was a great help to SEE what replacing a semi-integrated headset looks like. Particularly as I was trying to isolate the differences between integrated headsets, and [press fit] semi=integrated. I was able to find articles describing it, but seeing the actual head tube & headset provided the visual info to identify mine as a [press fit] semi-integrated.

This video helped me today, and the music kicked ass. I added two of the songs to my mp3 player.

[@cesarnieva1465]

I did not understand how the S.I.H works till I saw this video, thank you very much...

[@michaelmaldonado1133]

[@ravennexusmh]

less music more instruction would be good. for the inexperienced PS the headset removal tool you put the solid end in first through the headset, pull it through the race and it clicks in to place, much easier then trying to compress the sections by hand.

[@DominikKristek]

Came here to look how to place a new semi integrated headset... Now I great music as a background :)

[@macelbayardi8453]

Hi there, Im looking for some guidance Im planing to create my first custom made frame And Im planning to use Zero Stack Headset in a 44mm Inner Diameter Headtube My question is if the inside of the Headtube had to be treated with some angles, or just have to put the cups with pressure Thanks I know its not exactly the topic of the video, any help is very welcome

[@nathanwilliams9695]

Thanks 🙏🏼 for sharing

[@scottrocks1993]

I've changed multiple headset and forks. Never needed any special tools lol.

[@robertg239]

What headset was used as a replacement?

[@bryphi77]

Thank you...

[@ChuckMamuck]

The best way to maintain and service your bike tho is by being on good friendly terms with your LBS, buy as many parts and components as you can from them, if they dont stock what you want ask them if they can get it, they usually can. You'll become a valued customer so then when you're stuck, like you need a crown race remover or any other specialised tool, just take the part or your bike down the shop and they'll remove it for you or let you use the tool. My LBS is 100metres from my home, ace.

[@MatthewWalker_93_]

it would be nice to get a closer view, especially inside the headtube.

[@wslee2482]

Hi do you know how to replace the stem of the bike in the video?

[@johnnycervantes3156]

What's the name of that tool used to hammer off barrings?

[@dair805]

Thanks!

[@macLoscope]

"Not a number", Arcadia brought me here

[@pedieasuncion6875]

Bro I got a question I better ask , ok as far as a 1957 Schwinn my headset has me stumped because my bottom bearings fit upside down better then right side up in the cup ,is there a problem with that? ,?

[@smokeyjoe4248]

I bought a new headset and the compression ring won't fit propley and there is play in the steering, do u think I need to buy a different compression ring rather than a new headset? Cheers bro

[@thomash.1567]

Whats that tune? I need it!

[@matoyhere]

hey guys. thanks for this vid

[@johnrickcalaquian4755]

that bike is Lapierre right?

[@mateuszchmielewski7311]

What if costomer will wont to new Fox or repeir paiter damaging after a screwdriver.

[@enriqueruiz1263]

A new crown race is included in the new headset kit. No need to remove the old one

[@harveydog2006]

Nice bike

[@butchdelaware3174]

How much does that tool run for?

[@robertg239]

What headset did you use?

[@daveforman5097]

Need song info, please!

[@m00nchildblues]

Uh, correct me if im wrong but did you just put a dent in the fork with the flat head screw driver at 3:51??? Isnt there a Park tool that get that race off rather than pounding and prying it out with a flat head screw driver!??

[@johnfinelli6882]

@m00nchildblues , You my friend are 100% right on THAT!! The title on this video should be " How To Wreak A Decent Fork before The Install" LMFAO

[@MrSlurry]

As a motorcyclist who's getting back into bicycles, some of these videos are hilarious.. This guy with his screwdriver and hanging the bars and caliper by the cables, people using adjustable wrenches instead of the correct size sockets, torquing assorted bolts until they 'feel about right'... Ooof Surely if you're going to make a tutorial, you should at least have the correct tools

[@billdurnce]

m00nchildblues you are wrong.. forks have a slot normally on front and back specifically to use a pry tool to lift the crown race. He did not dent it

[@DogoCanarioXL]

can integrated headset be upgraded to normal one ?

[@fladam1994]

That's what I did, now I work there! Going there most days with a different problem for a different bike made me a familiar face, half jokingly I said that I might as well work there and they said yeah, talk to the boss, he was looking for a new pair of hands.

[@liuwenjie6678]

Nice Job~But,3:24 kinda funny lol,it feels like "oh shit wheres ma bowl gone?"XD

[@isnowyazn]

wouldnt*

[@mclooper]

what size is the headtube?

[@uwot9021]

+abu autobot probably 1 1/8 inch

[@johnfinelli6882]

Can anybody makeout the brand and Model front tire ?? for me all I can see is (Mountain) and (2.4)

[@walloham1018]

John finelli its probably a continental mountan king 2.4

[@cardudeperson7208]

May I ask? Are those forks available for purchase?(the ones you took off)

[@nikeid9]

4:35 oh .. jim levenstein would totaly use this

[@dair805]

How safe is riding bike without stem cap on fork? I'm riding without it :(

[@whichdoctor4858]

Depends if the bearings are seated when the stem bolts are torqued up. Would recommend replacing though.

[@Corfine]

cups compression ring and open cage bearings taken out head press not park tool few compression putting there hard to come by not sell chain reaction site

[@Corfine]

fork sun tour make hard job headset need lot of tools for head set cup remover head press very expensive

[@RawStreams]

Wow. much work. many tools. dropped suspension. I stick with current . much play. Wow

[@mbrunnme]

Dude, poor execution. At least leave some spaces.

[@ChuckMamuck]

buy a crown race removal tool, you can pick them up for £15-£20, maybe cheaper on ebay. you can lways re-sell it on ebay after.

[@enriqueruiz1263]

ChuckMamuck or install the new one, which comes with the new headset

[@isnowyazn]

This is basically the same as a standard headset. I would differ it in any way. .-.

[@rossy12100]

the stem cap offers no structural strength, it may mean you're bearings are not compressed, but otherwise it is fine, a stem cap will not stop your forks from falling off any day of the week.

[@thomash.1567]

The Top cap is to preload the bearings & only then tighten the Stem bolts.

[@markd.8124]

So many tools,not all can afford that

[@arben0906]

Rookie

[@deadsheep1559]

tokk you forever to assemble lol

[@tosher777]

Not so much instructional ...more like "look at me, I work in a bike shop".

[@erikponciano]

...with Eurotrash music in the background.

[@tokanroban]

Well, you can also do it with care and avoid those things you mentioned.

[@JPTHRICE]

cracked frame

[@azizukman]

Video title should be - look at me working on a bike listening to a cd that heavily scratched.

[@copypaiste]

can't see a sh*t

[@jeanmichelmaire6782]

J espère que c est pas un pro

[@adamf.8564]

Pros don't do it like this. I am sorry!

[@frazer1988]

Who on earth inserts a headset removal tool like that.... what an amateur

[@Tony07UK]

25 seconds in .. and left for another channel - sh*tty background 'music is annoying!

[@layton3503]
