Over the last few days, I've been looking at loads of headset service videos on RUclips. This is one of the very best, if not the best! Nice work Doddy!
Okay, this is why we need a GMBN Tech Channel! :-) Really love those step by step explanations. Good to know that in most cases I can do maintenance/repair stuff myself.
Nice video with good advice. For grease I have recently switched to a marine grade used on boat trailer bearings because it’s water proof. Lasts for ages and way cheap. When repacking the bearings I was taught to push the grease thru from one side till it comes out on the other rather than just smear it around. This ensures it is in the middle where the bearings are an not just sitting on the outside of the race.
I use Fuchs Polyplex 2 Lithium grease. It's washout resistance is 2nd to none. Extreme pressure and temp range. Been using it for years. I always strip and clean all the slow speed bearings of my bikes and replace the factory grease with it. A forklift mechanic buddy put me on to it.
@Flatslide Checked my tub of Starbrite wheel bearing grease and it has Lithium in it also so I think the water resistance properties stem from that additive. We are on the right track with the re-greasing of new bearings with better grease technique. Another tip I was told when popping the seals off new bearings is to only lever them out from the outside race, not the inside one because there is less chance of damaging the seal. I have a nice narrow rounded pick I use and it seams to work nicely. Bearing life increases 10 fold. Cheers.
Lucas Red-n-Tacky. Absolutely right that the grease should be worked into the bearing, not just smeared on. Its not a wheel bearing that spins at high revolutions. It has a very small range of movement.
I’ve learned a ton from u guys! Great vid. The one thing I caught was that you aren’t packing the bearings correctly. You need to place a blob on the palm of your hand and “smush” the bearing into it in a dragging motion, until you see the grease poke out the other side. This action is done quite forcefully👍🏻
Degreaser is expensive....... Parktool wall costs about 10.000 euro 😂 Brake cleaner is a really good decreaser that costs 1.50 euro for a bottle. Just make sure you don't hit any rubbers with it as it will take out the flexibility. Go Doddy. Love the show 👌🏻
I'm just getting into off-road riding, and have been watching / enjoying GMBN immensely. I think your GMBN Tech channel has the best "How To" videos. Thanks!
Good video. Can you cover the BB standards in mountain biking. I'm considering going from Shimano to Raceface cranks and the whole BB topic is confusing.
as a guy learning to do my own maintenance, this channel is awesome. Great job Doddy on breaking down the steps so well. I would love to see a video on RockShox Pike fork teardown.
Very good show mate! Finding your video after I finally used the correct key word search or tags was a relief to see I found in your viddy the exact info demonstrated quite well and concise! 👍👍 Carry on!
Brilliant video, will be doing this very task today on my Mega. Was bleeding the brakes last night and noticed the headset was very rough. Hopefully a clean out like this will bring it back to life, if not then new bearings required.
Super helpful - panicked when doing my fork service to find my headset bearings were running rough - a quick look here gave me a way to clean them up. Thanks!
Thank you, Man, i fell of a bike and steering wheel started to bind, now i disassembled with your help. Great advice, bearings seem normal, probably some sand got into it :P. Time to clean rust and regrease
i can't thank you guys enough for videos like these. They are so straght forward and easy to follow along, and over the last couple of years i have maintained my bikes at home wich has given me more trail time thanks to these videos!
Lately I've started to hear creeking sounds from the headtube of my Mega 275 and thanks to this video I was able to solve my problem. Thanks Doddy, maybe going for some linkage maintenance next!
3:06 I did end up putting those back together improperly and ended with a loose and later almost broken headset. Which also led to my star nut fiasco and a trip to the local mechanic. It's amazing with how little effort a person can destroy a bike no matter what the material. You could make one out of Adamantium and I'd still find a way to wreck some part of it without even trying.
My son's bike has always had a loose headset and after watching this I wonder if the LBS assembled it wrong...... I can break anything too.....Every FS bike I have owned has had a warranty issue....I've sent two back
Great vid, I like all in your series, I'll do my headstock today. One habit in in from my motorbike background, as soon as the front wheel comes out I put a spacer between the brake pads. Its so easy to inadvertently grab the front brake which leads to a right bloody mess
I would just like to add something to this great video. If you do scratch any of the metal parts removing your headset you can take sandpaper and smooth it back out. That also goes for the plastic pieces.
I'm a highly train engineer dealing with lubricants you did it accidentally that's what you suggest and what you talked about was perfect and what's funny that it does apply for all applications 90%
Great video ;) These fully integrated headsets are a bliss to service ;) i remember dropping a semi integrated one after taking the out the security ring.. After a short two hour search i had it back together :D
This video gave me the confidence to open up my headset. Also will i be able to change my current bearings to sealed bearings in the future and what do i need to know about when getting these new bearings?
Your my go to guy Doddy for learning how to service my bike. However could you get a camera right up in the parts once in a while so we can see more detail?
My headset barley had any grease from factory (21' Vitus 27 VRS) and I heard popping even when all tight, not sure if a peice wasn't placed properly when they first assembled or if it was the lack of grease but the noise is gone now 👍
Nice video. It would be nice if you had a way to emphasize tightening the top cap bolt first before tightening the bar clamp bolts. I moved a spacer from below the bar to above the bar recently and tightened up the bar clamps first. That left a lot of slop in the headset and it took me hours and several videos to figure out that the top cap bolt was what actually pulled it all together. Thanks.
Doddy, could you cover wheel/rim widths and what size tires for different conditions? I understand the difference and concept of the new WT tires. I’m on Race Face AR24 currently running 2.4 HighRoller 2 on the back. Want to upgrade to a DHF (up front) but unsure what size will play best with my 24mm wheel and fox 34 fork. Thank you for the help and greatly appreciate all you do.
I waited till the end for a demonstration about torquing the top cap but the video stopped short of that 😄 My spacers/stem/top cap crack horribly and I want to find out how to prevent it.
Great video Doddy didn't really look that difficult , but then again I once said that when trying too hit a 🏌 golf ball Cheers 🍻. You Yangs Australia 👀
Love the show, followed you from the beginning! I made a beginner's mistake when removing my headset bearings and wasn't taking a note of the orientation of the bearings. I have open kind bearings in my Kona Honzo and now I am not sure how they are reassembled correctly, which orientation the bearings are meant to be placed into the race in relation to the cup. I have assembled the headset multiple times and tried every combination with my bearings but I am not able to tell which is right since they all "feel" pretty much the same. I haven't ridden the bike per se, just feeling the handlebar rotation on the work stand and while the bike is on the ground. Can you make a video to show which side open bearings are meant to be assembled? Thanks.
Brilliant video.Have learned something.BUT I was stupid enough to try to adust handlebar height on my mountain bike.The spacers and round thing now on the stem not in the right order.Not playing around with it anymore.Taking it to my local bike shop when his backlog gone.Love cyclying.Hate trying to do something and messing it up.I was not trained for the task.Lesson learned:if you don't know100% how to do something pay for a trained expert to do it!!
Great vid! I like to replace my headset bearings yearly. It's cheap. About $35.00 for a new set of ceramic bearings keeps the handle bars spinning sweet! Also like to do the same with my Bb bearings. Not so adamant with my hub bearings 😂
Nice job! I have a question about carbon frames and bike racks. Is it ok to use a hanging bike rack on a car for a carbon frame like the Mega? Esp when going on long trips of 5-9 hours? Never owned a carbon bike and a bit paranoid of how to treat it.
MTN Mike Bikes I’m afraid of carbon frames for the same reason. If I ever get enough money, I’ll get carbon wheels and possibly cranks, but not frame, handlebars, or seatpost.
I'm a bit nervous too as I have a Mega Factory on the way. Then I have an 8 or so hour trip to make back to the North Carolina area. I have a van so im considering just putting the bike in there and just using the bike rack for my old MTB and BMX.
I have *semi-sealed* bearings in my integrated headset. So the bearings are just like the ones in the video starting at 6:45 except I can separate the top race of the cartridge to access and replace the bearings. Inside the cartridge are caged bearings and I want to replace it with loose balls. Do you think this ok to do? Also, that little plastic seal that holds the cartridge together inhibits movement when you spin it in on your fingers. Does this effect performance once everything is properly adjusted? Do you think it would be ok to *NOT* put those seals back on? Wouldn't all this kind of make it more like a loose ball system? You guys rock. Sorry for the long (and probably confusing) questions.
Thanks. If I took out and cleaned the bottom bearing but it's crunching when I spin it do I need new ones? I serviced it because it was clicking when I ride downhill, no crunching that I can feel when I steer or play in the steering, just clicking. Hopefully it won't click now. Also bought and used your grease.
Every set of forks I have fitted to both customers (and my own bikes) have benefited from having the crown race face correctly aligned with the steerer so that the bearing has the best chance of running true, and yet this is never talked about and evidently looked missing from your demo set-up here, -is this because the Park tools to do this job are so expensive, or are people not informed this needs doing by their LBS?
One very important thing he maybe forgot: Degrease the Steerer Tube at the end before installing the Stem back on! Grease between the connection of the Stem and Tube can be very bad!
Hi Doddy. Looking to install a dropper post to my bike but in researching it there is not a lot of choice in the 27.2 size i need and have found a lot of negative comments on that size compared to the other sizes. Can you tell me what you think on this subject..love the channel, cheers
What material would you use/recomend to make a spare crown race seal which goes under lower bearing? I messed up the order and ruined the seal (put it over lower bearing and it came out of headset chewed up) so I made one out of an old inner tube and it worked fine but not for long so I decided to buy a whole headset because I couldn't find spare crown race seal. I made one seal of soft plastc and it all sat quite nice but I'm affraid it might crack and mess up evetything if ridden heavily. Sorry for bad english. Cheers!
Unlike regular gmbn I feel that this channel cannot run out of content on the other hand what in the world are gmbn doing "how to lift you rear wheele" is completely pointless big up doddy thogh
On Canyon Torque CF 2019 the bearings don't go out by hand, even a slight pressure with a screwdriver or a plastic stick don't help. There are Arcos bearings. Any chance they are pressfitted or something and different disassembly procedure needs to be applied?
Very useful but with headset bolt fully tightened, with a bit of force I can pull the fork crown down a centimetre or two revealing the bearing. I've tried making sure the fork is fully pushed up info the headset while assembling and tightening. I'm not sure if I need to saw the tube or what, it's going to the bike shop and needs new bearings, I did a decent job cleaning them but needs new ones. Any tips on what I might be doing wrong?
Over the last few days, I've been looking at loads of headset service videos on RUclips. This is one of the very best, if not the best! Nice work Doddy!
Okay, this is why we need a GMBN Tech Channel! :-) Really love those step by step explanations. Good to know that in most cases I can do maintenance/repair stuff myself.
I really like how you say the exact materials needed in the beginning. Keep it up
as a mechanic this is an excellent video👍

CITRUS-SOLVENT!
GMBN How to... videos are the first place I start when doing bike maintenance. Doddy is the man 🤘
I'm just getting into off-road riding, and have been watching / enjoying GMBN immensely. I think your GMBN Tech channel has the best "How To" videos. Thanks!
This is my favorite channel
+Matteus Quine thanks Matteus!
Doddy deserves a raise. Love the channel!
Never did it before...watched Doddy...job done in 20mins. Cheers mate!
Good video. Can you cover the BB standards in mountain biking. I'm considering going from Shimano to Raceface cranks and the whole BB topic is confusing.
+Brian Vaughn definitely; we'll put together an explainer on that soon. BB standards can be confusing!
Nice, looking forward to that!
Brian Vaughn I just went through the same thing last season, I can relate to the confusion.
Brian Vaughn yes will probaly be a good idea
I have used Shimano, SRAM, Praxis, and Raceface cranks and by far I have had better luck with all of my RF cranks that I have used.
Good info. If only they had some suggestions on which make of tools to buy.
as a guy learning to do my own maintenance, this channel is awesome. Great job Doddy on breaking down the steps so well. I would love to see a video on RockShox Pike fork teardown.
Very good show mate! Finding your video after I finally used the correct key word search or tags was a relief to see I found in your viddy the exact info demonstrated quite well and concise! 👍👍
Carry on!
One month riding my MTB on the cost. I needed to perform this by myself. This video was very helpful!!!
thank you very much. this is really a part of the bike i paid no attention to until it started creaking!
Brilliant video, will be doing this very task today on my Mega. Was bleeding the brakes last night and noticed the headset was very rough. Hopefully a clean out like this will bring it back to life, if not then new bearings required.

Good no Bs video. Got mine done in about 20min although my bearings weren’t sealed units. Thanks

Good explanation of how grease works in the headset to keep water out.
Very thorough! Great job on this channel everyone.
Awesome as always Doddy! Loving the channel, as I like to do all of my maintenance
+Israel Zenteno good stuff Israel - let us know if there's a maintenance subject you think we should cover
GMBN Tech all of them ;) but don't feel stressed by this, you guys are doing an awesome job! Thanks a lot
Great job. Video gives you the confidence to take on the task. Headset sorted
This channel is just the best! great job guys! Keep those videos coming!
Great vid, I like all in your series, I'll do my headstock today. One habit in in from my motorbike background, as soon as the front wheel comes out I put a spacer between the brake pads. Its so easy to inadvertently grab the front brake which leads to a right bloody mess
Although the video came out 2 years ago I find it really helpful !
Production value level: Over 9000.
I would just like to add something to this great video. If you do scratch any of the metal parts removing your headset you can take sandpaper and smooth it back out. That also goes for the plastic pieces.

right vid to the right time,hehe. good job and thx,doddy.
Great video ;)
These fully integrated headsets are a bliss to service ;) i remember dropping a semi integrated one after taking the out the security ring..
After a short two hour search i had it back together :D
i just thought on how to do this yesterday. gmbn helped me
Thanks Doddy, this easy to follow and consice video gave me the confidence to overhaul my headset..👍👍👍
Awesome Doddy, appreciate the budget-conscious tip of using WD-40 as a cleaner.
I really do love this channel! 😂
+Brandon Austin thanks Brandon - really appreciate it.
Brandon Austin me too.
With other channels I watch it for a month or two but gmbn is so addicting 😂
This video gave me the confidence to open up my headset. Also will i be able to change my current bearings to sealed bearings in the future and what do i need to know about when getting these new bearings?
Is it possible to make something so simple even simpler? According to Doddy, yes. Well in my dude. 👍👊
This is a great new channel. Please do a video of bottom bracket standards. I am currently upgrading my headset from caged to sealed bearings.
+Luke Morris we've had a few requests for the BB video. We'll be sure to make it soon.
Can't wait
Your my go to guy Doddy for learning how to service my bike. However could you get a camera right up in the parts once in a while so we can see more detail?
Thanks for the super nice vid! How about how to service suspension linkage next?
+Tomi Saaranen thanks for the comment Tomi! Great shout on the video idea, too.
Thank you! That really is something I would love to see.
Thank you for this thorough video, albeit six years late😄Off to the garage I go!
I know how to do most of the things in these videos but still find them entertaining, that says something. Keep up the good work.
Great information. Looking forward to some great hints and tips from this Channel
Thank you very much for the video!!! Helped me while I was doing my Fork service!
Such great content, guys! I'm new to all of this stuff, but love to do things myself. Cheers.
Just followed this video and done me great. Cheers GMBN most useful.
Doddy well done mate you never let me down!🤘
Thanks Mate.It was very helpful video for me👍
Yehhhh, brilliant, and of course the blue logo tools really help...so much better than anything else out there...not....
My headset barley had any grease from factory (21' Vitus 27 VRS) and I heard popping even when all tight, not sure if a peice wasn't placed properly when they first assembled or if it was the lack of grease but the noise is gone now 👍

Love you guys. Helping me immensely...
You will sleep better after you do this. Kick ass video!
When is the custom build coming?
Can't wait to see it.
+Jerome Segard it's going to happen soon
sick!
Really nice and clear explanation !
Doddy, could you cover wheel/rim widths and what size tires for different conditions? I understand the difference and concept of the new WT tires.

I was riding on a very foggy day.. I noticed some brownish fluid leaking from the top headset.. Is this grease that's coming out, or rust with water?
Cheers Doddy. You the Man.🙌

Carbon is really strong, more than aluminium, so you'll be fine, but using a van is always better.
Thanks. The van will probably keep sticky fingers off it too lol.
I use the Saris Gran Fondo with my carbon bike. It only touches the wheels so the frame is not clamped. Works great
Thank you. You make it soo simple
Any special grease on carbon frames or usual grease is good? I mean is there any metal shaft between the fork and the headset ?
Nice one Doddy
I have *semi-sealed* bearings in my integrated headset.

fantastic video. Great detail!
today i did this task myself learned a lot of this videos and saved me 60 €
Does this mean all maint videos will be on this channel, instead of the main one?
Thanks.
If I took out and cleaned the bottom bearing but it's crunching when I spin it do I need new ones?
I serviced it because it was clicking when I ride downhill, no crunching that I can feel when I steer or play in the steering, just clicking.
Hopefully it won't click now.
Also bought and used your grease.
Every set of forks I have fitted to both customers (and my own bikes) have benefited from having the crown race face correctly aligned with the steerer so that the bearing has the best chance of running true, and yet this is never talked about and evidently looked missing from your demo set-up here, -is this because the Park tools to do this job are so expensive, or are people not informed this needs doing by their LBS?
Excellent video
Thanks man! I'm doing this tomorrow to my Ex 7. She gotta creaky sound in the headset.
One very important thing he maybe forgot: Degrease the Steerer Tube at the end before installing the Stem back on! Grease between the connection of the Stem and Tube can be very bad!
Hi Doddy. Looking to install a dropper post to my bike but in researching it there is not a lot of choice in the 27.2 size i need and have found a lot of negative comments on that size compared to the other sizes. Can you tell me what you think on this subject..love the channel, cheers
You make it look so easy thanks. Whats on that 1 CD on your wall?
Parklife-Blur
Is it ok to dry my bike after a wash with air from a compressor?
Thank you so much for the guide!
+Aleš Fojtík cheers Ales - hope you like the video.
GMBN Tech Yes I do, it's great, as well as this new channel, so helpful!
Great video as usual, but u forgot to say that after reinstalling the break caliper you have to make sure it is centered on the disc.
"Soak it in some oil overnight" - what kind of oil would you recommend to try this?
The lighter the better! Some 5wt suspension oil or similar would be perfect
I only have chain cleaner and a general bike cleaner... are any of those suitable for cleaning the bearings?
Can you make a video how to replace the bearings in the frame
What material would you use/recomend to make a spare crown race seal which goes under lower bearing? I messed up the order and ruined the seal (put it over lower bearing and it came out of headset chewed up) so I made one out of an old inner tube and it worked fine but not for long so I decided to buy a whole headset because I couldn't find spare crown race seal. I made one seal of soft plastc and it all sat quite nice but I'm affraid it might crack and mess up evetything if ridden heavily. Sorry for bad english. Cheers!
Unlike regular gmbn I feel that this channel cannot run out of content on the other hand what in the world are gmbn doing "how to lift you rear wheele" is completely pointless big up doddy thogh
On Canyon Torque CF 2019 the bearings don't go out by hand, even a slight pressure with a screwdriver or a plastic stick don't help. There are Arcos bearings. Any chance they are pressfitted or something and different disassembly procedure needs to be applied?
a pizza cutter in the workshop? Awesome!
+Charles the sprocket all the essentials 👍
Park tool special;D
Very useful but with headset bolt fully tightened, with a bit of force I can pull the fork crown down a centimetre or two revealing the bearing.
I've tried making sure the fork is fully pushed up info the headset while assembling and tightening. I'm not sure if I need to saw the tube or what, it's going to the bike shop and needs new bearings, I did a decent job cleaning them but needs new ones. Any tips on what I might be doing wrong?
Just the vid I needed cheers
Can you make a video on how to service the Monarch air can?
How long before renewing head set. How much torque for cap screw?
