Do you know what maintenance methods are available for the bearings of the head bowl set?

As a key part of the bicycle, the front bowl group undertakes the arduous task of turning into a bicycle. Ignoring the maintenance of the front wrist group may not only cause discomfort, but also cause accidents and injuries. The following are the maintenance methods and suggestions for the customized products of the headstock bearing.

Process 1. Bearing clearance detection Before riding, check whether the front bowl group is loose: under the condition of tightening the front tire brake, push the car body forward and backward, and then put the thumb and forefinger on the upper bearing housing. Feel the action of the casing on the gasket clearance. If there is a gap in the front bowl group, it needs to be carefully checked and calibrated.

Process 2. Calibration Generally speaking, the looseness of the products wholesale by the headstock bearing manufacturer is caused by the looseness of the thread after long-term cycling or the change of the original bearing installation gap. The locking screw of the handle must be slightly loosened, and then the locking screw above the head tube must be properly tightened. The Japanese state-owned torque wrench can be locked strictly according to the torque indicated on the accessory. If there is no advanced tool, use the inner hexagon of the common combination tool to slightly tighten. Then rotate the front fork slightly to see if there is resistance to rotation. Then tighten the set screw of the handle. Then shake the handle back and forth to check again. If the locking screw on the top of the head tube is quite tight and even the rotation of the front fork has some resistance, and the front and rear shaking detection can still feel the play of the bearing housing, then your bowl set has failed. You need to change or go to the garage for further inspection.

Proposal: You should check the front bowl before each ride, which only takes a few seconds. The customized products of cartridge type head bowl bearing will continue to cause the destruction of the bowl set. In addition, it causes the switch to fail and the balance control is abnormal. Therefore, timely inspection and adjustment of the head bowl group can effectively prolong the service life of the singing parts and reduce the damage caused by cycling.
