Looking to do basically the same as the threaded headset tutorial, but for a threadless headset.
I just picked up cycling and got a brand new road bike, so I’d very much like some videos dealing with roadbikes, like changing a stem on a threadless headset.
I have a question for you that may or may not be good for an entry on your site. We bought my wife a bike last year and she loves riding it, but her hands get sore. I have tried simple adjustments to the angle of her handlebars, but I think I would like to increase the height of them. I am not sure with her stem if this is simple a matter of loosening it or if I have to buy spacers or what not. I have old school bikes with old school headsets and I have never worked with one like this before. Can you give me some advice? Maybe this would be a good entry for you.
I have a Scott G Zero FX3 bike. The headset does not have any locking nuts? How would I get this off to carry out the maintenance you describe in this tutorial?
How to remove the fork with a threadless headset.
You only show how to adjust a Threadless Headset in this tutorial but what I’d like to know is this: Do I need to overhaul such a Headset on a regular basis? Just like you show in your other tutorial “How To Overhaul a Threaded Headset”
Great site, I have wrecked spacers before when fiddling about here. Any chance of a tutorial on adding spacers?
