Can you repack the bearings ?Has anyone managed to change the bearings in the Acros headset ?
Apart from acros and richey does anyone else make a blocklock headset or has anybody replaced with a normal headset.
Yes the stock acros headset bearings can be repacked. Mine started creaking pretty badly so I re-packed and all was good. You need to carefully pick off the plastic retainer to get to the bearings.Can you repack the bearings ?
Thats the rout Id go too ,, hit them with degreaser, petrol , chain lube etc then repack .Yes the stock acros headset bearings can be repacked. Mine started creaking pretty badly so I re-packed and all was good. You need to carefully pick off the plastic retainer to get to the bearings.
I'm not a fan of the blocklock either but your downtube will get knackered in a crash from the upper crown smashing into it. Not worth the risk IMO.I have a works components headset waiting to go in. I think i can get away without a blocklock. Waiting til my enduro bike arrives to book the install
