I dunno if thats meant to happen, but 15 little ball bearings came out of my fork/headset thing.. please help me!

You need a new headset.

 

[Ryanscoot]

Happened to me with my ultra pro. You need a new headset

 

[E1ementz]

why do i need a new headset? i loosened the first nut thing under the clamp and then as i was undoing the second one, the ball bearings fell out :/

 

[Ryanscoot]

It means your headset is broken

 

[E1ementz]

uhhh.. my friend was riding it and he jumped over this ledge and then the handlebars stopped turning when he landed, now ive loosened the two rings under the clamp like Rob told me and all the ball bearings just fell out..

also, is it possible to ride without the ball bearings?

 

[michaelchavez]

get a sealed headset, the bearings wont break

 

[ConnorD]

also, is it possible to ride without the ball bearings?

Definately not hahahaha.

 

[E1ementz]

Why do you need ball bearings to ride?

 

[Chase Marsh.]

Do you can turn your bars?

 

[ConnorD]

Why do you need ball bearings to ride?

for the exact same reson you need them in your wheels.

 

[E1ementz]

yeah Chase i can turn my bars without the ball bearings in them. why?

 

[Rob.]

are you serious? how loose did you loosen them dude? you're not supposed to loosen them THAT much. I can't believe this.

Common sense has died.

i suggest getting a replacement bearing, you could probably get it off of inward or dans comp somewhere.

 

[E1ementz]

the bars still work fine without the ball bearings so can i ride without them for the time being?

 

[Rob.]

i guess you can?

 

[E1ementz]

sick. but im still having trouble with my handlebars, they dont wanna go on! I might just go down to the skate shop and buy some others

 

[mikle2212mak]
