hmm, I wonder what model of FSA headset that is. The FSA headset I have on my GT Aggressor Pro uses sealed bearings. Also I wonder if this headset will need to be shaved down a little bit to fit flush to the headtube. I guess I'll see since I haven't watched the whole video lol. You could probably put the fork on the Royce Union, even though the fork is 27.5 it should fit a 29er wheel you just won't be able to go crazy with the tire width.
Is that the FSA Pig headset? That was my go to when I was younger and riding bmx. It's beefy and built to take abuse.
Were you able to find a Judy Gold in straight steer? The link provided is for the tapered steer one like you received.
I loved my gt I played and enjoyed to much upgrading things on it , I upgraded to a M8 2gen and now I’m getting indeed into this world, planning now to sell my upgraded marlin 8 and get a Roscoe 7/8/9 or a full suspension bike I like the polygon T7 thanks you guys cuz I learned a lot with my budget GT aggressor pro
i have a fat pig too 🙂 was able to just buy the reducer headset and use my existing cups and races when i switch from straight to taper last month
they are heavy but they are bombproof
I like the stainless headset look. Great video guys! I remember one of the makeshift headset tools you had with the threaded rod, washers, and a nut on each end!
@WOLFTICK VIDEOS, This is unrelated to the video but can the BUCKLOS F32 27.5 suspension air fork fit on the mongoose ardor x1? I have this bike and I want to upgrade the fork but I don't want to spend alot of money. So can this fork fit on the mongoose ardor x1?
How'd y'all know I was gonna be swapping a new headset on a bike soon (my Trouvaille)? 😂 Thanks for the how-we-do-it, great video (as always), guys, happy weekend! 😁✌️
My preferred method when using the headset press is to only remove one of the old cups, and use the other one with the stepped taper on the tool to ensure it’s nicely centred. Then remove the other old headset cup and repeat using the already fitted new cup .
That way the tool doesn’t skate around so much when pressing in. 😊
I love you , guys . Blessings .
Take that reflector off, please.
Love the colour scheme of the GT. Thanks!
Hell yeah! Glad you like that headset. Looks good!
Hey thanks for the shout out and funny enough Reggie White was my football hero and the reason I wore 92 all my playing years.
I like how you qualify "How We Do It!" I think it's kind of funny because everybody does things slightly different doesn't make it right or wrong it's basically the outcome that counts
I like that Crown race tool never knew that existed I may have to buy one!
Hate when gap age happens!
I found it helps to spray some penetrating oil on the head tube. Makes knocking out the cups super easy
I was waiting for Tick to smash himself in the face with the crown race tool 😂😂😂
The exorcist is a terrifying movie, really scared the 💩 outta me😂
Great install, take care guys 😎👍🍻
Hey guys, love your videos. Im looking to get myself and my wife in to mountain biking and wanted to get your opinion on what you would recommend between the M1 E11even and the Able Sport? I know you did a comparison on with the Able core, but the Sport has an advent 1×9 group set and hydraulic breaks. Wondering if those upgrades help at all. Having to buy 2 bikes keeps me in the "budget" range. Again, love the content and keep the videos coming
