Bullseye Headset Install on an SE Bikes Big Ripper
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ส.ค. 2024
- I'm back at my buddy Bernie's garage to install a new Bullseye headset on my SE Bikes Big Ripper. I've had this headset on my desk in my office for quite some time now, mainly because I lack some of the tools needed for this but also because I'm not super comfortable doing this myself. We both had the same day off and decided to go for it. If you are weekend mechanics like us, you'll want to see Bernie's homemade headset press that he created with parts from Home Depot. If you're an experienced bike mechanic, be kind in the comments as we know there are things we could have done better, like not kinking the brake cable. Yep, we did that. You can pick up the headset yourself from Bullseye using the link below and as always, thanks for stopping by!

What do you think of Bernie's homemade headset press? Do you have something similar?
Very good idea and they work perfectly 👍🏾
I'm suing you and Burnie for lack of sleep I live in the UK 😴 😂🤣
Bernies press too was INCREDIBLE. WHO NEEDS THAT SUPER EXPENSIVE PARK TOOL!?!?! I absolutely LOVE that. good job Bernie!
Haha! Yeah, Bernie is the man when it comes to McGyver-ing a tool for the garage! Check out the Race Inc build 1.0 video where he does it again! Thanks for the comment and for watching! 🤙🏻
If you get a stand that holds the bike steady, tapping out parts like the headset is much easier. All of your energy is being absorbed by the stand.
I hear you. That's not going to happen on our cheap $99 bike stand! Thanks for watching and for the comment! Much appreciated!
Thanks for the video. I will never try removing the cups without the tool now.
You're welcome! Yeah, this isn't the easiest install but it can work with tools you have in your garage although the proper tools make this way easier. Thanks for the watching and for the comment!
I love having you guys on while I work. It’s like I’m hanging out.
Awww, thanks for saying that man! Appreciate that a lot!
This is the best video I've watched in a long time. Thanks so much for posting it up guys! It's so cool seeing someone my own age doing this. I think I'm going to have to get a Big Ripper for myself. I'm sitting here just buzzing watching you dudes ride. Thinking about finally riding true Bmx frame geometry that will fit my 6'3" again! AND a PK Ripper just like I had as a kid... Just Wow!
Aww thank you so much for those kind words man! We really appreciate it! Getting a 29" big BMX bike would be perfect for your 6'3" frame! Dude, these bikes ride just like our 20" bikes used to when we were younger and smaller! The best part is being able to customize it like we did as kids, but now we have more money! Thanks for watching and for the kind comments! Let us know if you need any help with anything!
Definitely get a. Big Ripper! One of my favorite bikes! 🔥🤘🏼
I lived in Hawaii for 14 years, it's fun watching and listening to you guys work on bikes, reminds me of my friends in Hawaii Braddah~
Thanks man! Appreciate you saying that!
This is one of the best Ripper color ways I’ve seen. Great looking bike!
Thank you so much! Appreciate you watching and leaving that comment!
I had a 20-inch PK Ripper when I lived on the island Molokai some old man gave gave it to me that was in 92 and I still have it...🤙🤙
No ways! What a rad story! BMX bikes were everywhere I guess! What shape is it in?
Nut looking spacer then round spacer and stem.
Def taking mine to the shop . Nice work tough
It's not an easy install if you haven't done it before so that's a good call if you reached out to your local bike shop! Thanks for the comment and for watching! 🤙🏻
Wow that radical burney tool worked great 😮
Didn’t it? That’s why Bernie is my guy! Thanks for watching another one my friend!!
Great video! Loved the install tips!
Thanks man! Appreciate the feedback! Thanks for watching and for the comment!
Cool channel.
I have the 2009 Big Ripper. Fun bikes.
Ride on 🤘
Thank you! Love my Big Ripper! Thanks for watching and for the comment!
Great video guys! 👊🏻 Customizing my 2020 Big Ripper too!
Thanks! What are you doing to your Big Ripper? Thanks for watching and for the comment!
@@cruisinginthe808
Switching out the headset for (Bombshell) rims to polished SE or SUN, bars to SE Oakland, then a Knight Bikes Co overhaul for starters. Real CLASSY Arctic Ripper bro!
@@robh9047 - Thanks man! Your build is gonna look sick! Good luck with it!
I still have my tony hawk skateboard from bike factory...liked yr radical rick t
Wish I still had mine! Thanks! Damian Fulton, the guy who drew Radical Rick, has a website and sells them along with some original artwork! Check him out at radicalrick.com ! Thanks for watching and for the comment!
Awesome
I bought the same stand, mine came with a magnetic tray.
Lol, you guys are awesome! Nice looking bike btw! Greetings from the San Francisco Bay Area! ✌🏼🔥🤘🏼😎🤙🏼😜 #bikelife
Thanks man! Thanks for watching and for the comment!
Would you please share where you got those spacers. I really like the look of them.
I'm going to have to go and research where I got that from and get back to you. But I'll look!
Its cool broo.
Mahalo! Appreciate the comment and you watching! 🤙🏻
An 800+ dollar bike with an unsealed headset, smh. Great job on the upgrades!
What size socket was tht you used to tap out those headsets
What's that oven looking thing behind you guys in Bernie's garage?
I asked him and he said it's a commercial convection oven!
It’s funny cause right when I came to the comment to ask about the stand boom you started talking about it 🤣🤣🤣 good price for 80 bucks
Glad it worked out for you! Yeah, this stand is pretty good for the money. The price went up though and it's now like $99 but it's still worth the price! Thanks for watching and for the comment!
love the content and the old school mechanic approach. would have loved the stand back in the 80s when i was riding. i am looking at adding an se to my stable but i am torn between nostalgia and what might fit me im 6'0 am looking at the fat quad, the om duro or the monster quad. your thoughts would be appreciated
Thanks for watching and for the comment! Appreciate the sub too! I'm 5'9" and I love the 29 inch bikes like the Big Ripper or the Monster Quad. Haven't ridden the Fat Quad but I'm guessing it's similar to the Monster. The OM Duro is nice because it's right in the middle of the 26 and 29. Isaac from Big Bike BMX is a big dude and he loves the 27.5 size so I think it would work for you. The Duro also has the gears which you might like. I just got a Monza 26" and at first I thought it was a little small but as I ride it more, I'm getting used to it. It's quick and nimble because of its size compared to the 29s. The 29s are more of like a cruiser type bike. If you have a bike shop near you, my suggestion is to try them out for yourself and see which one feels better for you. You will definitely notice a difference in the sizes. Good luck and thanks for watching!
@@cruisinginthe808 thanks my local had a fat quad so ill give it a try and see if there are others i can get a feel for the fat quad appeals to me for the ride comfort of the tire size but yeah ill definatly check all of them i can.
What handlebars and grips are you using on your arctic white big ripper?
I have the stock SE bars that came with the bike but I had them powdercoated white to match the frame and fork. The grips are Ame Unitrons. You can pick them up at places like BMX Guru or Planet BMX. Thanks for watching and for the comment!
next week flipping bikes with Burnie 😂😅
Good idea! 😂
Where did you get the Amé blue over white please lads?
I get my grips from either Planet BMX or BMX Guru. The hard part with these old school two-tone Ames is that they are in and out of stock and so you have to keep checking the websites to see and then buy them as soon as you do. They usually don't last very long. Hope that helps and thanks for watching!
@@cruisinginthe808 thank you. Found them through Ame and planet bmx. Just a shame I live in England. loving the videos keep up with the content and good work
I like the cap that's on the bike
Where did you get it from
It looks cool
Are you talking about the stem cap? It's from the Knight Bike Company. knight-bike-co.myshopify.com/products/copy-of-cobra-seat-post-clamp
Yeap
i like your chanel and t shirt, i want one
Thanks man! Appreciate you watching and leaving a comment!
What bike stand is it?
It's the Sportneer from Amazon. Check this vid I did on it earlier. th-cam.com/video/g3TOGzk7XFE/w-d-xo.html. Thanks for watching and for the comment!
What bike stand is that? Thank you! (subscribed!)
I found it on Amazon for like $80 but I see now it's gone up in price.....www.amazon.com/Sportneer-Foldable-Bicycle-Workstand-Adjustable/dp/B07QTZZ9PF/ref=sr_1_11?crid=38MYJWW4U232H&keywords=bike+repair+stand&qid=1647283947&sprefix=bike+repair+stand%2Caps%2C185&sr=8-11
Thanks for subscribing, watching, and for the comment!
No towel in the bike stand clip to protect the paint?
I will try and use it if I'm working on my stand but we were at Bernie's and he doesn't usually use a towel. I agree though that one should be used to protect the paint. Thanks for watching and for the comment!
@@cruisinginthe808 Thanks for the reply. I was just giving you a hard time. That's one reason I don't go to my local shops for work because they look at you funny if you ask if they can use a towel.
@@jordankeller1017 - I hear ya man. I am usually one to always use a towel if I'm working on something at home.
Do u happen to have a IG I would like to check out more of your build
Yes I do! Check out.....instagram.com/cruising.in.the.808/. Thanks for watching and for the comment!
