  • Should probably mention that if your bike is suspended

    in the air, you need to hold the wheel up(like in your video) so the wheel and steerer tube don't fall out..

  • wtf is a "stim" ?

    Also I'd lock the front breaks and rock the bike back and forth to test for play, then lift the front to see if the handlebar can fall of it's own accord. And everyone stfu about torque wrenches, it's aluminium; an approximate feel is all that's required.

see all

  • I had to put one of these on my Busettii Bike, its not that easy to do !

  • ugh. This guy just sounds condescending. Probably overcompensating because he obviously only knows the bare minimum about the mechanics of bicycles.

  • I like this explanation. He uses the word 'pulls' a few times because tightening the top cap pulls the fork up onto the thread of the top cap bolt and stops any play in the headset.

  • Motobecane ships their bikes with the steerer tube already cut? That thing looks pretty short to have just been unboxed.

    Sand in your vagina much?

    Calm the fuck down, Rain Man. He can do what he wants. It's. Just. A. Video.

  • You truly are an idiot whoever posted this retarded video. Aheadset is the name of the headset. The stem is a Ritchey, you fucking idiot. Two separate parts you moron. I cant believe you are working on these nice parts with little know-how and a shitty bike.

  • Important! He does not say it or show it, but hold the front wheel from falling out of the headset when removing the top cap.

  • A question for evrybody ,I have a trek soho with no hadlebars and no stem ,but i don't know how to measure the stem so i can buy one,some help please.by the way the handlebars and the stem somebody took them ,i guess they thought they belong to them or got confused .Thank you very much and have a nice time.
