headset rebuild - loopy ripper

<< < (2/6) > >>

Betty:
That bit in your hand looks like the fork crown race, there may already be one on your forks?

If not it slides over the fork steerer the opposite way up to how you're holding it in the pic, the bearing race faces upwards

The bearings should be fitted with the cages in the cups and the balls (ooh err) facing outwards

If the top nut is tightened all the way down in the first pic you'll need a washer below it to keep the adjuster tight it'll never stay tight if there's a gap

Dannywhac:
As per above  :daumenhoch:

Here's an exploded view of one (yours probably won't have the 'seal' bit):

Nice one everyone

Will invert my balls tomorrow

Superb stuff - cheers

I do have the washer pictured above - but if I remember correctly it sits snug within the cerrated adjustable race part of my headset .  The diameter is smaller and fits on like a glove.

Surely because its ' inside ' this piece - it's not doing anything ?

Cant take any pics - as I'm at work unfortunately

Cheers addy

Dannywhac:
Beartrap headset then? Yeah the toothed washer slots down on top into a recess on the adjustable race. What it does is stop your headset loosening over time.
