We have been really stoked on all of the How To videos that have been coming out to explain proper bike maintenance. The crew at Profile Racing just released this new video explaining the proper steps to install a BMX headset, fork and stem on your bike. Now, this isn’t rocket science by any means, but it’s an important thing for any BMX rider to know how to do. This video covers the proper steps from placing the headset cups in, spacers needed for the stem and how to properly tighten everything down.
One thing they don’t cover in this video is how to cut down a fork if you prefer to run fewer spacers. That is something that is a little more advanced and requires either pipe cutters or a metal saw, but advised against since in some cases it can cause you to screw up your fork or even void your warranty. Let’s just focus on what this video covers, though.
“We here at Profile use Deco FuForks along side Deco Headsets.
Accompanied with Profile’s Push Stem, let Gus Lanzilotta run you through the proper install.”
