    It's cool you guys are showing ppl how to upgrade their old stuff, especially if they are on a budget. My brother was gonna buy my nephew a new unsealed headset for his bike & I had to step in & make him get the mission headset. It rides better than ever.

    I used the mission kit on my 2000 Haro Revo, and it worked. I bought a few other kits first, but they used loose bearings. Phu is showing stuff I have had to figure out on my own, and He is Awesome for Sharing his Knowledge with the interweb. Thanks Phu! Your Hair and Your Sandals keep Me Coming Back For More...

    The Tange MX 320 headset with precision bearings works perfectly with old school 1" threaded forks. I would only have a bike shop install it, because you need to press in the cups, it won't survive banging or a vice, needs a Park Tool headset press to install. Smooth as butter.

  • @MrNamaikisaru
    @MrNamaikisaru 2 роки тому +1

    Sealed bearings on my circa 2000 frame just like a mountain bike 1 1/8 set up but the head tube is straight. Only thing to watch out for is some of those mtb branded headsets can be too fat if you want to run a gyro. I think the angled race being built into the fork is a bad idea. Taking a race off and putting a new one on can be a pain sometimes but it's got to be better than replacing the whole fork. Both of your frames flair out at either end of the head tube. Aren't the both integrated but one takes loose bearings and one sealed?

    Id be mad curious to hear about parts or conversion kits that could fit on old road bikes, for example i know some people will use a euro bb to fit bmx cranks on an old road frame to build just a fun bike or for fixed gear especially, lots of fixed gear riders like bmx parts, no one has a channel talking about what can be used from bmx parts.
