yea well ive never put one in, but just jam a screwdriver in the old cups and pry them off, then ive heard that putting the bmx headset cups in, putting a board on top of it and hammering it in works without damaging it...a rubber mallet could work too...i suppose squeezing them in with a vice could work lol

If I were you I would probably just stick with the stock headset. It's very cheap (almost 40 bucks less than a fsa pig) and it works just fine if you grease it up and tighten it just enough that it spins nice. But isn't putting bmx headsets on pretty much the same as taking off the stock headset and putting it back on?

Bmx headsets are better than the stock ones, and on some of them (FSA Pigs for sure) have bigger bearings in the bigger bottom cups.

i think Pigs are worth it for sure.. in the long run they make your scoot heaps solid and the headset is always spinnin fast

I saw an fsa pig go for about 50-60 bucks at a bmx store near me. Couldn't you buy a whole new scooter (maybe 2) with that kind of money lol?

I got my FSA Pig for maybe $30, and if you really have problems getting it on or don't think you can do it, take it to a bike store for them to put it on, it probably wouldn't be that expensive.
