How To Adjust And Tighten A Headset On An EMTB
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 окт 2024
- A knocking headset is one of the most annoying things to encounter on your mountain bike, producing telltale vibrations under braking and can make steering difficult. This is usually the result of eroded headset bearings but thankfully there is an easy way to identify and address these issues.

Adjusting the tension on your headset bearings is pretty straightforward. In most cases you will only need a set of hex or allen keys. Follow these simple steps to keep your steering silky smooth, and if none of these tips help, the bearings might require regreasing or replacing.

Electric Mountain Bike Network hi
Hi Tacoma!
Hi
On my 2017 Levo a few times I've noticed slightly "cracking" or "popping" noises coming from the headset area while riding on rough terrain, however the headset was nice and tight. I found that I had to loosen everything and slightly drop the front forks out from the frame, wipe any dirt/dust from the area while being careful not to wipe all the grease from the bearings, and refit everything. Seems to have solved the creaking problem.
Chris, great vid. This is one of the better in-depth videos i've seen on the headset and issues. Thumbs up!
Thanks Mark!
Well done, I've struggled in the past to get this right and eliminate minor movement in the headset. You covered considerations that I was completely unaware of. Pretty sure that my ignorance resulted in my damaging things. Reviewing a good video like this beforehand will likely save $$$. Thanks #EMBN
Really happy we could help Skots Trails to Ales!
@@embn Hello there i need your help in something i have a question about my bike it’s a Scott ransom 910 2021 you see when ever i wash my bike with muc off soap and water i get a creeking sound from my headsets and it was so annoying that I couldn’t find what’s causing this till I opened the headsets and found out that when ever i wash it the grease from
The headsets bearings fell of completely cause of the water and starts creaking like crazy but wait why the grease is dropping after i hose my bike its because it’s not a waterproof grease but that shouldn’t fix the problem that means i have to put fresh grease every time i wash my bike till I found out that the headsets that came
with my bike from the factory it doesn’t has a washer completely like no washer whatsoever now my question is this and I think it’s the solution for my problem
I’m willing to replace the headsets and the stem just to buy a headsets that has a washer i got
In mind cane creek branch their the best I think anyway
Since I have a square shape of headsets and square shape of spacers I’m forced to buy a new stem and a pare of new headsets that comes with a washer my only problem is that I don’t know if their is a measure I should take in min when ordering a new headsets with rounded spacers could you help me I really appreciate that thank you waiting for your reply
thank
great how to vid, might also be worth saying that if you have a quick release disc they can also seem like movement in the headset when your holding the front brake and rocking it back a fourth feels just like the pad movement but its the disc moving in the wrong direction just a tiny bit.
Great show Chris
forgot to say EBIKES rule!!! taking my Focus Jam2 to coed llandegla forest (UK) tomorrow
Nice vid, explained perfectly
Any tips for stopping the chain from bouncing off on rough terrain?
Narrow wide chainring, and a mech with a clutch
Perfect info
Is the headset any different than one on a conventional bike?
any info about that bue torque wrench? :)
Very good, liked, subbed and bell dinged ;@)
Mines not loose but makes a noise over bumps
i have the problem, everything you can hear on my videos, looks like i have to get new bearings
Is this what makes the clicking sound when I left or right on my bike
Yeah I also had the same problem but once I applied grease on my headset the clicking went away
It's not different than a normal MTB. Already a video from gmbn and gcn.
Yeah, but some people just watch EMBN
