- Bike headsets come in a variety of options, sealed bearings, unsealed bearings (loose balls) threaded, and non threaded. 1 inch vs 1 1/8" and standard cups (non integrated), integrated, and lastly semi integrated.
Phu Vu from EPIC BMX ( / _epicbmx ) gives us the run down and installation guide for these choices!

Bonus video this week y’all! Make sure to leave some love to keep us going 💜
are the Euro bb and spanish bb the same size ?
Great video, very good explanation. I am a bike mechanic and tour guide in a 5 star hotel in southern Greece, a couple of days before I had to service my full suspension mtb and I decided that tapered headset is the go for me and I was looking for a video explaining some things so is sure about my thinking. Bravo guys
There is a tool to remove that crown race properly but is freaking expensive for the need nowadays.
I usually keep a little tin on the side with old Stanley knives blades or old razer blades and you can fit one on in between the crown and where it sits, with little knocks going around.
At least in setups that are more precious aesthetics.
Yeah I just take the fork to the shop with a box of donuts
Sealed isn't better for headsets because the presure is on the sides of the bearings. Sealed bearing are not designed to take pressure sideways, only up or down on its race. Wheels and bottom brackets where the bearings are vertical are good spots for sealed bearings. And those weren't loose ball bearings, they were caged bearings. I once bought a bike that turned fine, felt sturdy and it didn't have any bearings. It had two cone washers like the ones he hit. The previous owner lost the bearings and didn't put them back. That's where I learned that headsets don't need good bearings they just need lubrication. So I guess anything will do 🤷♂️
I was also thinking this. Sealed bearings are radial only as the inner race is parallel to the outer race race forming perfect concentric rings. Caged bearings have 3D pressure support because the inner race is both under neath and to the side of the caged bearings(similarly the outer race is both above and to the side of the caged bearing). Headset bearings need to support both swivel(radial) pressure and the pressure from the compression bolt(vertical pressure when in use). Therefore theoretically the older caged bearings should be more suitable for use in headsets. I think that's why they have the 45/45 (degrees) specification for headset bearings.
Dude, your videos are so helpful, man. Thank you!!
Wish where I live would have a shop like you guys. Our shops are dull, very limited inventory,sales people look at you like you're bothering them trying to buy something and they are completely clueless about bikes and parts. Feels like you're in Walmart. 🤣
I feel you meign. Surrounded by $5k bikes.
You are an awesome teacher
Great video real nice work
Wow, this was done on my birthday and I was searching for a video explaining the difference now..
Love your videos! can you do a video on acs rotors? Installing, cleaning, ect
Thanks!
SHOP OWNER coming in with another BANGER instructional video💯✊😎!!!
Thanks alot I was so confused 11/8" integrated or semi integrated is very important in bearing to head on frame.
It is smoother way and more stable of steering handle bar to put the ring spacer on top of the headset.
THE authority on BMX.
Yo spot on with the scammers, this is a must share. We watched ya at Mike Shop 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽

10:02 If you don’t want to put the headset spacer on top of the stem and make it look flush and clean you could cut down the fork steerer 5mm instead 👍🚲💨
Or, you can get a taller dust cap.
You should test titanium spokes how strong they are and explain them I like the way u describe stuff thank you
weaker than butted steel spokes.
That’s a nice headset!
Great video. But can I use a headset dust cap of a sealed bearing semi integrated headset to my loose bearing semi integrated headset? Because I want to make my setup "slammed" but I dont want to upgrade my loose bearing headset
Can you do a video on chain tensioners
Uhh link for the headset or your shop website?
Just found your videos and they are fooking awesome! I need y'all's help. I have the Haro Downtown 24 and I want to put a gyro on it. it is an integrated 1-1/8" but I cannot find one? Please help and keep up the awesome vids!
Phu is always asking dudes to check him out, Ethan is always checking dudes out...
Guys!!! Guys...
Dude ! The hat takes years off of you 😮😊
What size are these fittings as need some for mine ?
So that headset only works on the newer 2021 flyers n up
I have a 2020 blocks flyer that has chris king press in traditional cups
Would this work with eluder headset?
Hi Sir,
Any recommendation for my headset it wont close totally, bearings are still visible but the spin of the bars is smooth.
Thank you for your response soon.appreciate it.

Sick ass Phu always showing us wassup 🤙
So where can I get this headset as I need one? Can they be ordered from You?
How high should ur bars reach while u stand on the ground d next to your bike? Mine reaches a little past my belly button and I have bars with a 9inch rise and a gyro but im also 5’4💀
I think my gt came with a semi sealed integrated headset because the bearing didnt have seals and you could take apart the bearing
This is my bike and now I'm upgrading, hope it comes in blue
Do you ship to England
Do they have any 1 inch?
Do you guys still have these in stock????
Hey Alf does Phu ship parts to Australia cheers for your time
Hey Robert, he does! DM him on instagram!
@@AlfredoMancuso sweet thank you
my original top cap from a CK complete broke after about 2 years of riding, replaced it w an S&M one and it fits fine but the bars will often come out of line with the front wheel. seems to never really get tight enough compression. any help on this?
I'm an amateur but I'll take a crack at your question. You should not rely on the top cap to keep your bars aligned with the fork. The top cap keeps the bearings in full contact with the frame and fork. So, make sure the bolts that clamp the stem to the fork are tight. These are what keeps the front end lined up!

4:41 dissecting headset
Duuude, crown race removal tool sure, you can stack razor blades one per side of the race till it pops off hammered in with a mallet.
When's the Jam!
Something does not look right where the fork goes up into the bottom of the frame Looks like it’s got a gap that should not be there?
Let’s goooo
Thumbs up for Dr. Evil reference...
ewwww them weld beads on this headtube look gnarly, 6:19 .... the folks @ SE need to have a talk with their welder, them johns look wonky.
Sloppy dimes.
Block party at epic with them caged balls
Okay wait a minute I thought I saw those headsets in AliExpress🤔
So It's more SE using MTB technology to confuse the big bmx boomers?
I have read great comments and questions in the comment section but you guys never interact with us. Will be cool if you guys interacted with us sometimes.
I usually let Phu address the top comments in the next videon
So it literally is landing gear

Those are caged bearings, not looseball. Looseball is loose with no cage around the bearings.
I fell asleep inside the 🐈 on the air mattress
