Holy Shit, that Headset Installation with the Hammer and without grease hurt for days!!! 😭

@viggobeck7015

3 жыл бұрын

Just curious, (i've never assembled a headset from bare frame b4) what's the purpose of the grease in the cup-frame interface? usually you put grease to prevent seizing, (like in bb threads or freehub body) but it doesn't seem like you'd ever need to take off an interference fit headset cup.... insight?

@peglor

3 жыл бұрын

@@viggobeck7015 The layer of grease means less force for installing and removing, less chance of damage to the surface finish on the parts as they slide over each other and, especially on a trials bike where there are massive and repeated shock loadings to the head tube with no suspension to damp them out, slightly less chance of it creaking. Every trials bike I've ever owned will start to creak at the headset after a few weeks use if it's not doing it from new already despite this though. Every suspension fork I've ever used creaks at the steerer-crown/crown-stanchion interface if you load up the front wheel for pivots and similar too, so you can't win on this one. Interestingly Tartybikes recommends installing headset bearings dry in bikes such as the new Echo/GU models with tapered steerers where the headset cups and crown race are machined surfaces in the headtube and fork crown.

Thanks :D this hose isn't rated for the extra pressures disc brakes put on them...magura rims brakes have a lot lower mechanical advantage and doesn't generate the same fluid pressure as a disc brake, this means magura rim brake hose is just a plastic tube...disc brake hose has a kevlar (I think) weave which stops the hose from expanding under high pressures...sadly you can't get clear tubing for a disc brake yet

@@jeffhayes1855 it's much easier. But my MTB is a Salsa Bucksaw (a full suspension fat bike), so I imagine that makes it more difficult. Regardless, the geometry, extremely low seat, ultra grippy brakes, and short rear end just makes it a lot more fun to play with while it's stationary. I'm also old (for a trials beginner), so the lighter weight helps as well.

As a bike mechanic, I could recommend you to buy an el-cheapo headset press from Aliexpress for ~15-20 squids. It's a piece of threaded rod like the DIY jobs people make, but the most important part are the nicely machined bits of aluminium that will drive a variety of cup sizes in straight.
