Headset Good Practice

The headset of your ebike is located inside the headtube and allows the fork steering column and front wheel to rotate and turn.

• Keep It Tight
  • Never ride with a loose headset. An improper bearing load damages the headset and frame head tube. Riding with the headset too loose will hammer bearings against the races, pitting the latter, and could eventually ovalize the head tube. If the headset is too tight, pits will form on the races, giving an indexed, notchy feel when turning.
• Clean and Grease
  • Water contamination can kill even the highest-quality, best-sealed headsets. Power-washing the ebike or crossing a creek, may push water past seals, where it works through the grease bearings to cause corrosion, so you will need to clean your bearings and regrease the parts
