  • Installing a bicycle springer fork, steering tube, and headset. In this video we are using a 26" bent springer fork with a 22.2mm headset. Here are the part numbers used:
    513005 26" chrome bent springer fork. steering tube 7 1/2"" long from the top to the bottom bearing race, 4" of threading at the top.
    503008 chrome 22.2mm headset with bearings
    The same process is used for installing any size springer fork onto a bicycle frame head tube.

    This video leaves out so much information and so many necessary steps, it should be flagged as "inappropriate." I hope no kids build a bike like this after watching you.

    shouldn't that spring ring be level on the shaft with the correct washers? that is so crooked, it's gonna flatten the shaft threads over time and ruin it. Plus no bearing grease? this is the white boy install. haha

  • @sly100
    @sly100 2 роки тому

    You should require a signed release disclosure, before someone views this video. Using your advice will eventually get someone hurt. The lock ring was not installed correctly, defying the purpose of it. No grease assembly. The top spring bracket chattering on machined head tube threads is an accident waiting to happen, not to mention destroying parts. Moderator should be more thorough when screening clips.

    I just bought a 20” bent springer fork for my Worksman tricycle. I went to install and would not fit correctly. The headset measures 6 1/4”. When I go to install the fork ring, it isn’t able to raise up high enough to be able to slide onto the steering tube! It’s seems like the base of the steering tube is too high up on the forks. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I am a “noob” as my kids would call me, and I’m just trying to get some pointers to what I’m doing wrong. Thanks in advance.

    Do you need to use a spacer tube for some bikes, for the top of the steering tube? Do you trim the top and leave the ring crooked? Where do you get the bearings, does it come with the forks? Does it come with all the metal dohickies, or do you purchase them separately?

    I found it odd that you make the video yet don't answer potential customers questions (I already buy from you). Granted it isn't rocket science and these are just bicycles which require very little in the way of mechanical skills but we live in a time where even a lot of men don't know what a tool box is for so it is probably in your interest to spoon feed information rather than just giving the order of assembly.
