just replaced first set of headset bearings

[biggs682]

i know its no big deal , but last night i replaced my first set of headset bearings in all my years of cycling i normally get the lbs to do them but not any more .

i even enjoyed doing them that much i took another set apart tonight and gave them a regrease , all going well .

next step is wheel bearings !

Wheels are easy compared to headsets (IMO).

 

[biggs682]

I've never touched a headset but have replaced the ball bearing in wheels a few times and if I can manage that you will no problem.

The headset on my 1930s Elwick has a ridiculous number of tiny 1/8" balls and rebuilding it really tried my patience.
