Headset Assembly | Ride1UP 500 Series

Fork installation gone awry? If you find yourself unsure of how the bearings, spacers, and compression ring are arranged, hopefully this brief video guide will help. If this is still confusing, please find your local bike mechanic!

Thank you very much, really! That's an ideal video: no hot air, just explanation! Thanks.

Thanks for actually showing me

[@Divocwax]

Great! My Giant Alias uses these "caged" ball bearing type which are for a 1.25" diameter steerer tube, with 5/32" diameter balls, and there are 20 balls.

[@Johny40Se7en]

Thank you. Kept doing this wrong and had stupid play when braking 😐🥴
Can you do one for the bottom of the stem / steerer tube too please, I think I'm doing that wrong too...

[@digambarpatil5785]

*Easy to setup and maintain.*

[@Ride1Up]

Thank you, cleaning and lubricating the chain can give you many trouble free miles.

[@user-fj8xy9zr4g]

Oh I think the location of the ball bearing is above, thank you

[@Atrainswrld]

Do you add grease. Im about to put a fork on and need to know everthing grease. I have a redline 24in. Its aluminum and the fork was hi strength tinsile. I had a cult) BMX brand ) 26' fork laying around. I would have preferred a 24-in fork but this one's at least full chromo

[@davidchen7210]

Thanks so much for your video. Do you put grease in the fork and headset or leave everything dry?

[@user-zz4rh2tj2g]

Grease the crown race, ang obviously the caged bearings

[@reallytho99]

Do you have one showing the bottom?

[@jaytee9152]

I know right🤷

[@bhoot1702]

It's basically the same. You just need to keep balls up for down part and balls down on upper part like this video

[@paderoarjaygante8457]

What size your caged bering

[@keenanmurray65]

My first spacer (sort of cone-shaped one) seems to have another small thin ring that doesn't show up in anybody's video, but seems to fit perfectly in an indention in the spacer. Has anyone else seen that small thin ring? I'm assuming it goes with the cone-shaped spacer, but wish it was in some video somewhere.

[@SteveL11]

It should go between 3 & 4 in this picture right? support.ride1up.com/support/solutions/articles/65000172325-core-5-assembly

[@keenanmurray65]

@@SteveL11 Unfortunately, I don't really remember now. It might be piece number 3 in the photo. Sorry.

Hi is their a compression ring on the bottom of headset thank you great video

[@nultianeks]

No there isn't.

[@edmejias7894]

Hi, the video was helpful. The only problem I ran into was when I tried putting the last smaller rubber piece (pressure washer with the spacer), it wouldn't go all the way down flush with the other pieces. Any suggestions?
Thanks

[@nikolavatkov]

Me too, any new info u discovered?

[@GoaldenShorts]

@@nikolavatkov Yeah me too!

[@TerenceJoyner1]

Why isn't there a actually core 5 assemble? I could really use one

[@paderoarjaygante8457]

Lods ano size ng headset mo

[@Dusan4666]

Compression ring was not delivered with 700 bike ? The handlebar is stiff and not posible to turn.lol.

[@Ride1Up]

Sometimes the compression ring is spring loaded in the headset and pops out when the fork is installed. If not please contact our support team and share pictures www.Ride1UP.com/contact

[@Dusan4666]

I contacted support. They have sent me missing ring next day. All good. Thank you.

[@galenweidman6198]

My compression ring doesn't go down at all, any ideas?

[@snoozymcgee4372]
